Day of Mourning and a Thanks Giving Meal
Every day at Stone Soup Café is a day of giving thanks.
Join Stone Soup Café on this particular Thanks Giving Day to acknowledge, celebrate, and honor Indigenous resistance, while we share a delicious holiday meal that truly welcomes everyone. Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 from 12 PM until 2:30 PM.
This year, we will be pausing all food preparations at 12pm to watch a live stream of the National Day of Mourning in the All Souls sanctuary. We will break the fast and serve the community meal shortly after 1pm. All are welcome to share a meal in the Sanctuary after 1pm while the Live Stream continues.
Stone Soup Café would like to uplift the true history of Thanksgiving so that we as a community can affirm the experiences of Native people.
The meal will be available for curbside pickup or delivery.
If you have any questions, email us.
Together, let’s learn about the complexity of the holiday.

A Word About Our Food
Our meals are good and good for you!
The Café’s food philosophy is the reason its menus and meals have become a popular draw to our community. Our philosophy is to find a celebration that falls on each Saturday (or close to it) from any tradition or place on the planet.
Each week the Chef team searches the world for these opportunities to celebrate our community. We embrace cuisine from around the world and bring it to the table for all to eat. Our desire is to provide palette-expanding opportunities that meet the needs of all our guests.
Our food is made from scratch – rarely opening cans or boxes – and meets the needs of any dietary preference or restriction. Our weekly menu offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free foods as well as meat or fish protein options.
We believe that when we sit down together and share a meal we become a beloved community – a family who shares times of celebration and traditions.
