2026 Community Harvest Dinner

Enjoy a hearty turkey dinner, homemade desserts & community spirit Join us for the 27th Annual Community Harvest Dinner at St Paul Presbyterian Church—a celebration of good food, generous hearts, and community! Enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving-style meal featuring your choice of white, dark, or mixed turkey; mashed potatoes with gravy on the side; savory stuffing; fresh green beans; and homemade desserts. Dine in with family and friends or take your meal to go. Guests who arrive later in the evening will often find shorter lines and easier seating. Ticket prices: • Adults: $15 • Children ages 4–11: $5 • Children 3 and under: Free Walk-ins are welcome, but purchasing tickets in advance will help us plan for plenty of food. Purchase tickets online through Zeffy This year, proceeds from the Community Harvest Dinner will help eliminate approximately $3,500 in unpaid school meal balances at Lawson Elementary School, one of St Paul’s community partners. Your meal will help ease a burden carried by local families and make a meaningful difference for Lawson students. Any food remaining after the dinner will be donated to Des Moines Refugee Support, a nonprofit organization serving refugee families, with a particular focus on children. Come hungry, bring your family and friends, and help us support children and families in our community—one delicious meal at a time!
