Community friends are welcome to come and enjoy a wonderful sit-down dining meal with the Habibians and the community. At last year’s event, they prepared over 3,500 dinners and met many grateful people who would have gone without a Thanksgiving dinner had it not been provided. 

Habibian began this yearly tradition five decades ago, in 1973. He was inspired to start the community event after being invited to Thanksgiving dinner as a recent immigrant to the country.

This event couldn’t happen without the community and its support. A lot of people have given generously for many years, and the Habibian family is very grateful. Without their volunteers, there’s no way they could pull off the event. To volunteer, call Sherman at 435-229-7091 or Melanie at 435-680-3936

The Habibian family invites everyone in the St. George community to come and join them for a Thanksgiving meal you will never forget. Everyone is welcome.
