Volunteers and Donations Needed for Thanksgiving Dinner

We are opening our doors for our beloved annual tradition of hosting a community thanksgiving meal downstairs in Willett Hall on Thursday, November 28 at 1pm which brings in 150 people every year. For many, this is their only chance at a family-style traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

Volunteer: Please CLICK HERE to sign up to volunteer. Deadline to sign up to volunteer is November 17.

If you’d like to help with publicity in the weeks before by hanging flyers around town, please contact thanksgiving@upbrookline.org. We’re also looking for volunteers to polish the silverware.

We are also looking for team captains and folks to join our core planning team. If you’re interested in a leadership role such as overseeing volunteers on Thanksgiving Day, please reach out to thanksgiving@upbrookline.org.

Donate: Check out the bulletin board at Coffee Hour to sign up for the food donations (just turkeys and pies this year). If you can’t get to church to sign up in person, please contact thanksgiving@upbrookline.org or call the Church Office at 617-277-6860. Turkeys and pies can be dropped off at church from November 24-27. Pies must be nut-free (no peanut, tree nut, pecan, sesame or coconut); only pumpkin and apple please!

Monetary donations are welcome to help us purchase the rest of the ingredients for our chef to cook the meal. Please consider making a donation to help support the Thanksgiving dinner by clicking HERE.
