Holiday Meal Drive 2025

WE are hosting one of the largest holiday meal drives in our city’s history. At the East Oakland Boxing Association campus, volunteers will pack and distribute 5,000 full holiday meals, complete with turkey and all the fixings, nourishing nearly 30,000 people in a single weekend.

Each meal costs $65 per family, or $11 per person. That means for the cost of one lunch, you can help ensure a neighbor enjoys the dignity of sitting down to a holiday meal with loved ones.

Join us as a sponsor today. Your commitment will ensure every family leaves with a full holiday meal.

Sign-up to volunteer. We need help with packing meals on November 21st and Distributing meals on November 22nd. Join us!

Do you represent an organization or agency that would like to table at our Resource Fair? Reserve a spot in our Resource Fair.

Registration for Meals will open on November 1st!
