Project Feast is a student organization at the UMSOM that puts together a free Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th from 10am-3pm
at Booker T. Washington Elementary School for the homeless and underserved population of Baltimore, Maryland. In addition to providing a meal, we also connect our guests to a variety of community resources and have a large collection of donated clothing, blankets, toiletries, and pantry staples available to meet their more immediate needs. For the past 26 years, this event has been held on Thanksgiving Day at Booker T. Washington Elementary School in West Baltimore, and has fed hundreds of people. Last year, we served approximately 500 guests with the help of 175 volunteers!
