Thanksgiving 2024
Join us for a festive meal at our Older Adult Community Center (593 Columbus Ave)! Our dining room will be open from noon until 3 PM on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28th. Everyone who would like a meal is welcome; there is a one meal per person limit.
Holiday Meals at Goddard Riverside brings the community together on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day to serve a festive holiday dinner to our neighbors, including those with homes and those without shelter. We welcome guests in our dining room and also deliver hundreds of meals throughout the Upper West Side.
A neighborhood tradition for more than 40 years, Holiday Meals are made possible by donations from businesses, contributions from corporate partners, and hundreds of volunteers. It is an incredible community effort!
Sign Up to Volunteer
Volunteers are key to the success of our holiday meals. Every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, more than 200 volunteers gather at 593 Columbus Avenue to cook and serve up to 1,500 delicious homemade turkey dinners.
The 2024 Thanksgiving volunteer signup is now available. Volunteer shifts will be on Thanksgiving Day and the day before, November 27 and 28th.
