This Thanksgiving season, we're especially grateful for our food banks and free meal programs that help us give and receive help when it is so desperately needed.
Join us for the Second Annual FOCUS Festival of Thanks and Giving, hosted by the FOCUS Churches of Albany and Westminster Commons! This event will be held from 12 noon to 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 23rd, 2025, in the Fellowship Hall of Westminster Presbyterian Church. Families are welcome!
The festival will feature a variety of activities led by members of FOCUS Churches including kindness stones, gratitude flags, Thanksgiving cards for FOCUS Interfaith Food Pantry guests, a collaborative art project and games for all ages. Soup, sandwiches, cider donuts and drinks will be served.
At 1:00 pm, all are invited to join a Circle of Gratitude with songs and a chance to share what we're thankful for this season.
This is a great opportunity to come together with neighbors and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving and give back to those in need. We hope to see you there! If you would like to help with this event, please contact Pastor Heather (

The event is free, but generous donations to support the work of the FOCUS Churches of Albany will be appreciated. We also welcome donations of non-perishable food for the FOCUS Interfaith Food Pantry.
