Eden Café Hosts Free Community Dinner in Grand Rapids This Thanksgiving Week

Eden Café Free Community Dinner • Tuesday, November 25 • 6 PM – 9 PM

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, many families feel the pressure of cooking, planning, and making sure everything turns out “just right.” It’s a beautiful season — but it can also come with stress, long to-do lists, and the weight of preparing for a big meal.

At Eden Café, we believe in supporting our community not just with good coffee, but with meaningful moments of connection. That’s why we’re hosting a Free Community Dinner on Tuesday, November 25, designed to offer a warm meal, a cozy atmosphere, and a chance to simply breathe before the holiday rush.

Why We’re Hosting This Dinner

Thanksgiving week can feel overwhelming for many people — balancing work, family, travel, school breaks, and the expectation of cooking a full meal. We wanted to create an opportunity to take one thing off your plate, literally and figuratively.

This dinner isn’t charity. It’s not about who “needs” help or who doesn’t.It’s about community, togetherness, and offering a moment of rest during a busy time of year.

Everyone is welcome — no expectations, no catch, no RSVP.

🍲 What We’re Serving

Join us for a cozy evening featuring:

• Authentic Gumbo

• Fresh, warm bread

• Delicious desserts

• Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate

Whether you’re stopping by solo or bringing friends or family, there’s a seat for you.
