This year, 400 homeless and displaced guests from Society of St. Vincent de Paul and CASS (Central Arizona Shelter Services) will arrive at Rock Bottom - Ahwatukee for a Christmas Day celebration.

A Day of Celebration
Each guest will receive a warm welcome and an extraordinary dining experience. Seated at tables dressed in white linen tablecloths and napkins, silverware and china, guests will enjoy a traditional meal complete with all of the trimmings. New gifts to be distributed include warm adult and children’s fleece jackets and new books for the kids! Each family or individual will go home with a family or self portrait.

The Miracles Keep Growing
The Miracles began on December 25, 1996 when one of our restaurants in Denver, CO, driven to brighten the day for the area’s hungry and homeless, served a traditional Christmas Day meal to 250 guests.

What began as a small gesture of kindness has spread across the United States. This holiday season, more than 7,500 children and their families in Boise, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, San Diego, Portland and Phoenix will receive an outpouring of goodwill through our Miracle events.

Further, restaurants in Cincinnati, Des Moines, Washington DC, Longmont (Colorado), and Denver will be hosting over 1500 guests at our Thanksgiving Gatherings. We will also serve 1500 guests a holiday meal with all the trimmings on Easter Sunday in Minneapolis and Omaha.
