Day of Mourning & Giving Thanks
Thursday, November 28 2024
12PM until 2:30PM
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 28th, 2024 from 12 PM until 2:30 PM.
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.
We will pause all food preparations at 12pm to watch a live stream of the National Day of Mourning in the All Souls sanctuary. At 1pm, all are welcome to share a meal in the Sanctuary while the Live Stream continues. The meal will also be available for curbside pickup or delivery.
Suggested donation of $25 per meal. A portion of funds collected at this meal will be shared with our indigenous friends at Ohketeau Cultural Center and Nolumbeka Project.
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.
