Thompson Restaurants' family of brands unites to feed local families and support youth through partnership with Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation
RESTON, Va., Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thompson Restaurants is giving thanks in a big way this season with the return of its annual "Thanksgiving Meals with Meaning" initiative. The program invites guests to enjoy a chef-crafted holiday feast while helping nourish families in need across the region - a celebration of great food and even greater purpose.
In partnership with the Northwest Federal Credit Union (NWFCU) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through health, well-being, and education, Thompson Restaurants will deliver donated Thanksgiving meals to local shelters and those in need in the DMV.
"Giving back is part of our DNA at Thompson Hospitality," said Warren Thompson, president and chairman of Thompson Hospitality. "Meals with Meaning brings our restaurants and guests together to support families in need. At a time when food insecurity is affecting so many, this program allows us and our guests to make a meaningful impact, it is also a reminder that we're all in this together."
Guests can participate in two ways:
- Order a Feast: Enjoy a fully prepared holiday meal from Thompson Restaurants. You can choose from the sides that you know and love from Milk & Honey, matchbox, Makers Union and Ms. Peach's. Individual sides are also available for purchase.
- 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 from 11/1 to 12/31.

- Classic Feast - $145
