A Beloved Tradition for Over Three Decades (and counting!)

Montrose Community Dinners (MCD) is a dedicated nonprofit organization based in Montrose, Colorado, with a heartfelt mission: to ensure that no one in our local community misses out on a Thanksgiving dinner complete with all the trimmings.

Thanks to generous donations from individuals and local businesses, we can provide a free Thanksgiving dinner to anyone who wishes to attend—whether they are residents, visitors, or just passing through our city. These hot meals can be delivered, picked up in take-out containers, or served at Friendship Hall in downtown Montrose.

When you arrive at Friendship Hall, simply grab a plate and get in line. Our friendly servers will be ready to fill your plate with turkey, ham, and all the delicious trimmings. After you’ve loaded up your meal, find a seat with friends and neighbors you already know or make new friends at your table.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where community members from all walks of life can enjoy a holiday meal together, fostering a spirit of compassion and connection.
