Operation Gobbler

For over 30 years, the Pasadena Jaycees have partnered with the Friends in Deed Food Bank and Women’s Shelter to provide low-income families in the Pasadena area with ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal, most importantly of course, a turkey. The Jaycees solicit corporate sponsors and collect donations from community members and business. Volunteers sort the food and distribute them to appreciative families on the weekend before Thanksgiving. Our goal for 2024 is to feed 400 families.

You can support our virtual food drive and sponsor a family in need via Paypal or Venmo below! Donations also accepted via check (payable to Pasadena Jaycees Foundation, 474 W. Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91103).
