SANTA MONICA, Los Angeles County, California — The Santa Monica College Foundation will hold its 10th annual Giving Thanksgiving on Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24, providing a hot holiday meal to more than 2,500 students in need and raising funds for the college Basic Needs Program and Emergency Grant Fund.
The foundation said the event, now in its tenth year, brings the community together so that no student faces the holidays alone, and supports year round access to free groceries, clothing, hygiene and parenting supplies.
The foundation reported that since September 2025, visits to the on campus student food pantry, the Bodega, have increased by 20 percent. The foundation is at 1900 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica.
