Thanksgiving Community Dinner
The Capital Region’s largest and longest-running holiday tradition
Over 50 years ago, a small group of community and religious leaders, students, and social workers held a Thanksgiving dinner for 200 college students who were not going home for the holiday and would have been alone. This marked the beginning of the Capital District's largest and longest-running holiday tradition. Today, the Annual Equinox Thanksgiving Day Community Dinner serves nearly 11,000 of our lonely, homebound, or homeless neighbors.
And, with an ambitious redesign of our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, we are proud to safely provide a holiday meal to thousands of neighbors in need. The Capital Region’s largest and longest running holiday tradition remains possible with the tremendous help of local restaurateurs and caterers, volunteer drivers (providing contact-free delivery), our T-Day Hotline and other key volunteers, individual donors, and lead community partners.
With much gratitude to our caring community.
