37th Annual Holiday Meal
The Davis Food Co-op is proud to announce that this year we will celebrate the 37th Annual Holiday Meal, to be held Saturday, December 24th at the Veterans Memorial Center in Davis. This year’s meal will be available for everyone to enjoy by either dine in or take out.
This free and festive dinner for the entire community is a remarkable Davis tradition and has become an important part of the holiday celebrations of local people from all walks of life. This year’s meal is our first return to in person dining since 2019 and we are anticipating feeding anywhere from 400 to 700 people.
We invite you to join us for this meal and ask that you help with a donation or by volunteering if you are able to so that we can continue this wonderful Davis tradition.
To sign up as a volunteer or donate dessert, visit our Customer Service Desk or sign up page here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040c4eaca928aaf85-37th
To donate, visit our Eventbrite page here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/37th-annual-holiday-meal-tickets-468840654017
This event succeeds only because a broad spectrum of people support it. We look forward to providing a meal that reaches even more people and to working with the generous members of the Davis community in keeping this wonderful tradition alive!
How is the take-out option arranged? Walk-up? Drive-up? Thank you.
Hello! If you’d like the meal to-go, park in the Veteran’s Memorial Center parking lot and walk inside with the other folks. When you reach the serving line, let the server know you’d like your meal(s) to-go and your food will be put in a takeout container. As soon as you get dinner and dessert you are welcome to go.
We have 10 homeless people (and two staff people) staying at the Winter Shelter on 5th Street. Would it be possible for you to set aside some meals for them that we could pick up and deliver to them?
Thank you,
Shoshana Zatz, HEART of Davis
Hi Shoshana – thank you for reaching out. I am going to follow up with you via email.
Thanks,

I tried 3x today to register for donating a dessert. But for some reason the signup sheet isn’t responding. Is it ok to just show up with something yummy?
Hi KZ – Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the sign up sheet. You can definitely still donate a dessert, you just have to drop by the Veterans Memorial Center between 1pm-3pm on the day of the meal (12/24). Please bring a list of the ingredients used for the dessert.
Hello, thank you for your time and kindness. I am wondering if I can pickup four meals for my family, or do we each have to be there? Thank you.
