Thanksgiving Day
12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
The Hall at Fauntleroy

It is Thanksgiving eve and the kitchen is buzzing with activity at The Hall at Fauntleroy, but the energy is a little different than it is on the usual business day. On this day and the day to follow, all of the busy hands are volunteering their time to create and serve a free community meal.  Who is invited...everyone! Since 1998 Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes has opened their dining room at The Hall at Fauntleroy to a diverse guest list of about 200 people each year. Some people come from the street to warm up and have a much needed meal.  Some come from their warm homes to share conversation. Some come alone, some bring the whole family. The reasons for coming are as different as the individual guests, but everyone leaves full of delicious food and with a renewed sense of community. It is with open hearts that Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes invites the greater West Seattle community to their home, The Hall at Faunleroy.  Join them Thanksgiving Day from noon to 3pm. Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes is blessed with enough volunteers this year and would gratefully accept assistance in the form of donated new and gently used coats, hats, gloves or homemade cookies, pie or whipped cream. For more information please contact Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes at 206-932-1059 ext. 302.
