About this Event

ECDC African Community Center of Denver (ACC) is hosting our 19th annual Refugee First Thanksgiving community dinner. Join us in welcoming Denver's newest refugee and immigrant community members by sharing an evening of food, friendship, and dancing.

Hosted at the Assumption of the Theotokos Cathedral, celebrate the diversity of our community by sharing both traditional Thanksgiving food and globally inspired dishes with new neighbors and friends! Whether you're a refugee or a supporter, everyone is welcome to join in the festivities.


Space is limited, so please reserve a free ticket for one of our two dinner shifts. Tickets are required for this year's event!

First Dinner Shift: 5-7 PM

Second Dinner Shift: 7-9 PM


To honor our Muslim community members, this event will be alcohol-free and fully halal.



Program

We are excited to announce that this year's event will feature live music and performances throughout both dinner shifts. More information will be announced soon!



Donations

Please note that Refugee First Thanksgiving is a free event. However, please consider contributing by choosing the option to donate on the check-out page. Ticket donations will be used to help offset event costs and support our work with newcomers.



Event Volunteers

Event volunteers should NOT reserve a ticket through Eventbrite. Eventbrite tickets are only for individuals attending the event as a guest. If you would like to volunteer at the event, please sign up for a volunteer shift via our SignUp Genius.



Hygiene Care Bags

During the event, we also hand out free bags of donated toiletries and hygiene products to ACC refugee families, since these items can be expensive and can't be purchased with food stamps. You can help ensure we have enough for every family by donating a Hygiene Care Bag for the event! Click here for more details or see the flyer below.
