WHAT IS THE MAGNOLIA THANKSGIVING BANQUET?
Since 2009, Sa-Rang Community Church (SRCC) has partnered with Project HERO of the Magnolia School District in Anaheim to provide opportunities for children of low-income families. The Magnolia Thanksgiving Banquet is an annual event to which all the families of the participating children are invited to a great Thanksgiving feast - a privilege that most, if not all, our guests cannot experience otherwise.

Heating Turkeys & Hams
Up until the pandemic, the Magnolia Thanksgiving Banquet has grown to serve nearly 350 people. With limited cooking space at church, we purchase pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner packages to ensure we can prepare enough food on time. However, all the turkeys and hams that come in these packages must be heated up for the banquet. Heating food requires you to pick up a turkey and/or ham on Tuesday evening and return it by around 3 PM on Wednesday to be ready to plate for the banquet.
