On Thanksgiving Day, Bellissimo Venice will host its 5th Annual ‘Feed The Need’ Turkey Day Giveaway!

Last year was a big success, but with your help we can make this year even bigger! We will be serving free coffee, pastries, and turkey sandwiches to all of those in need. We encourage everyone in the community willing to contribute to come out and help support the cause. What better way is there to kick off your Thanksgiving Day? Let’s all come together as a community and give back to the less fortunate in our beloved city!

This is a community driven event, so we need your support! Financial contributions are crucial to make this event happen. Anything helps, whether it’s $5 or $100, it all adds up! As a result of generous financial donations last year we gave away over 3,000 sandwiches, hundreds of cups of coffee and dozens of pastries. Over 2,000 of the sandwiches were caravaned to downtown and distributed on skid row.

Food donations will be accepted starting Monday, November 20th. We will be accepting pastry and dessert items to accompany coffee. We are also accepting toiletries and feminine products for the downtown distribution.

All donations are to be received at Bellissimo Venice located at 68 N Venice Blvd, during normal business hours. FInancial donations are also accepted via paypal at paypal.me/feedtheneed2016.

Please email me at [email protected] for volunteer information. There will be alot of sandwiches to be made and people to feed. Volunteers will be needed for Wednesday afternoon/evening, and Thursday morning/afternoon. It is very important to hear from all interested volunteers so that I can adequately prepare and schedule both days. If you prefer, feel free to call or text me anytime at 818-923-8112 with any questions. Can’t wait to hear from you all!

Lastly, please share this event with friends and family!
