QFC, you’re a consistent partner in helping to feed the community.  We thank you.

Proper Thanks it’s founder, Pastor E. D. Mondainé Jr. and it’s parent organization, Celebration Tabernacle Church.  Without you, none of this would be possible!  Thank you Pastor for your leadership.  Thank you Celebration for making this community event happen.

Fred Meyer’s, we couldn’t do this without you guys. Thank you for all you do for the community.

Green Zebra Grocery goes out of their way to help make this community Thanksgiving dinner happen every year! Lisa, Evelyn, and all of the awesome Green Zebra team members are a huge part of providing this dinner. We can’t thank you guys enough.

Join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 25th from Noon to 4PM at Celebration Tabernacle located at 8131 N. Denver Ave, Portland OR 97217.

The Proper Thanksgiving Feast-ival is a beloved Kenton tradition for over 20 years. In fact, this will be the 22nd year of us offering a home-away-from-home Thanksgiving community meal! The Proper Thanksgiving Feast-ival is completely FREE and open to everyone! Whether you come every year, or you’re joining us for the first time, we will be glad to see you.

We have historically featured music, entertainment, kids’ activities, an inclusive community experience, and great food.  However, again this year, due to COVID-19, we will provide our home style meal made with love in to go boxes.  You can take as much food with you as you like.  There again will be no sit down dining this year.  Bring your masks.  However, if you don’t have any with you, we will have plenty of masks to hand out, as well as hand sanitizer available.

We partner with local restaurants to bring you a fresh and delicious Thanksgiving feast. In 2021, we’re pleased to announce that we’re partnering once again with Po’Shines Cafe de la Soul! We’ll have an awesome team bring you a top-quality menu, carefully composed of traditional Thanksgiving favorites and innovative new dishes. We offer vegetarian options too!

Proper depends on our neighbors to support our mission of uniting community across all lines. We receive support from local businesses, community foundations, individual donors, and volunteers. If you or your organization would like to get involved with Proper, we look forward to speaking with you.

Proper is committed to a diverse Kenton as part of our greater mission. Like all Proper events, the Proper Thanksgiving Feast-ival is a safe space for all community members, regardless of race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, ability, nation of origin, age, or religion.
