Donate Holiday Meals To Reston Nonprofits Helping Families In Need

Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation​ and Thompson Restaurants are partnering to deliver holiday meals to feed families in need.

RESTON, VA — Throughout November and December, Thompson Restaurants is giving thanks by inviting guests to enjoy a chef-crafted holiday feast while helping nourish families in need across the region

In partnership with Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation, Thompson Restaurants will be delivering donated Thanksgiving meals to local shelters and community organizations serving women and children in Reston, according to a release. The effort is part of the company's annual “Thanksgiving Meals with Meaning” initiative

“Giving back is part of our DNA at Thompson Hospitality,” said Warren Thompson, president and chairman of Thompson Hospitality. “Meals with Meaning allows our restaurants and guests to join together in that mission, providing nourishment not only through food, but through compassion and connection. This program is one of the most meaningful ways we can express gratitude as a company.”

From Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, guests can participate in two ways:

  • Order a Feast: Enjoy a fully prepared holiday meal from your favorite Thompson Restaurants brand, Matchbox, Milk & Honey, Makers Union, or Ms. Peach’s, crafted by the chefs you know and love.
  • Donate a Meal: Contribute $50 to provide a meal for two, or $100 to feed a family of four. Each donation ensures a complete Thanksgiving dinner is delivered to local families experiencing food insecurity.

Additionally, guests dining in-store or ordering online can “round up” their check to further support the NWFCU Foundation, helping fund programs that promote health, education, and well-being for youth in need.
