Heart of Detroit Thanksgiving Dinner

Click Here to Donate or Volunteer

Real Culture’s annual community initiative is dedicated to feeding, clothing, and uplifting Detroit families during the holiday season.

What began as a simple act of service has grown into a citywide movement that brings warmth, dignity, and togetherness to those in need.

Each year, volunteers, local businesses, and sponsors join forces to provide hot meals, a change of clothes for men, women, and children, and essential goods, reminding our community that gratitude is best expressed through giving.

Why give?

Your support helps us meet people at their most vulnerable moments with warmth, dignity, and real care.

Every donation directly provides meals, clothing, and essential goods to Detroit families who need it most.

When you give, you’re not just funding an event; you’re fueling hope, community, and connection.

Through Heart of Thanksgiving, your generosity becomes impactful.
