Over 50 years ago, a small group of community and religious leaders, students, and social workers held a Thanksgiving dinner for 200 college students who were not able to go home for the holiday and would have been alone. This marked the beginning of one of the Capital District's largest and longest-running holiday tradition. Today, the Annual Equinox Thanksgiving Day Community Dinner serves nearly 11,000 of our neighbors in difficult circumstances.
And, with an ambitious redesign of our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, we are proud to safely continue the tradition safely with the tremendous help of local restaurateurs and caterers, food services, volunteer drivers (providing contact-free delivery), our T-Day Hotline and other key volunteers, individual donors, and lead corporate partners.
