Feast of Hope
One of Albuquerque’s largest free Thanksgiving Day meal events, the Feast of Hope is now in its third decade of providing hot turkey dinners to people who might otherwise go without. Hosted by La Mesa Presbyterian Church in the International District, this community effort brings together volunteers from faith communities and other organizations to serve 1,300–1,600 meals each year. All are welcome, and a free Clothing Bank offers donated clothing to those who need it.
Preparations for the 2026 Feast of Hope are underway! Volunteers, clothing donations, and financial support help make this Thanksgiving tradition possible. Explore the opportunities below to see how you can take part.
Help Make the 2026 Feast of Hope Happen!
Before Thanksgiving, on the day, and after the meals are shared—there’s a place for you to help.
Prepare food, sort clothing, set up, pack and deliver meals, help with the clothing bank, or donate pies. We especially need volunteers for the final cleanup!
