Thanksgiving Dinner Donations coast to coast

This Thanksgiving, the Guy Fieri Foundation delivered hope and nourishment to communities on both the East and West Coasts by providing nearly 10,000 meals to families who might not otherwise have had a Thanksgiving dinner. With the help of an incredible team of volunteers and partners, we smoked close to 1,000 turkeys and prepared all the traditional fixings to make these meals truly special.

None of this would have been possible without the generosity of the volunteers who donated their time, talent, and equipment—including the smokers that worked around the clock to make it all happen. The meals were distributed through amazing partner organizations including Redwood Gospel Mission, the Salvation Army, Sonoma County Fire Department, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, and other groups supporting veterans and families across communities in California and Florida.

Together, we didn’t just serve meals—we served comfort, dignity, and a reminder that these communities are not forgotten
