The Turkey & Dressing is a celebration of community care, dignity, and belonging. Rooted in Raphah Institute’s belief that healing is a collective journey, this gathering brings together families, neighbors, and partners to share nourishment, warmth, and joy during the holiday season.

At its heart, this event is about showing up for one another—especially during times when systems fall short. By providing families with holiday meals, winter clothing, children’s toys, and connection to supportive resources, we honor the truth that community is our greatest safety net.

Turkey & Dressing is more than a distribution day.
It is an invitation to:

✨ Nourish the body — by providing fresh food for holiday tables
🧣 Provide warmth — through winter wear and essential items
🎁 Celebrate our children — with toys, joy, and activities
🤝 Strengthen community ties — through shared presence and relationship

When we create spaces where families feel seen, supported, and celebrated, we help interrupt cycles of harm and isolation. Every smile, every conversation, and every offering—big or small—reminds us that healing is possible when we take care of one another.

This is what public safety looks like.
Not punishment or fear—
but communities equipped with what they need to thrive.

Join us as we spread warmth, joy, and belonging this season. Together, we make healing a reality.
