HOLIDAY DINNERS-IN-THE-PARK
For over 35 years, Union Station Homeless Services has hosted annual Dinners-in-the-Park on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, providing warm holiday meals for people in the community. Over 7,500 meals were served last holiday season to people who are homeless, senior citizens, alone at the holidays, or unable to afford a holiday meal. Held every year in Pasadena’s Central Park, these events bring together volunteers to serve a healthy meal and holiday cheer to our less fortunate community members. Union Station is thankful for the in-kind donations of turkeys, hams, side dishes, desserts and new toys that make it all possible.
