Description

Our local Chapter 48 is aiming to raise more funds for our cost-free programs so we can better assist and help more local veterans and their families. Our 1st Annual Crab Feed Fundraiser, held in March 2022, raised about $12,000. At this event, put on by all volunteers, money will be raised from dinner ticket sales, raffle and auction items, and sponsorships. 

On Saturday, January 21, 2023, we plan to host our 2nd Annual All-You-Can-Eat Crab Feed at the Veterans Memorial Building, 1351 Maple Avenue, Santa Rosa, California.

Note: The date when tickets will go on sale will be announced soon after crab season has opened. Ticket prices will reflect the current going rate for crab, which we won't know until crab season opens.

Dinner tickets for our fundraiser must be pre-purchased and include All-you-can-eat crab, salad, bread, and dessert. Non-alcoholic drinks, beer, and wine are available. Ample free parking.

We can reserve tables if you have a party of eight. 

5:00 pm: Doors open. Enjoy drinks soda/water/wine/beer. Browse donated items. Free parking.
6:00 pm: Dinner includes All-You-Can-Eat salad, bread, crab, and dessert.
8:30 pm: Beer and wine no longer available
9:30 pm: Event ends

Helpful Tips:

  • At the time of the event, current county COVID mandates must be followed.
  • Bring your condiments and cracking tools. We will provide butter, salt/pepper, & parmesan cheese.
  • Warm butter at home and bring in a sealable heat-protective food container. Containers like Klean Kanteen or Yeti keep the butter warm for hours. Candles are not allowed, but small sternos can be used for butter warmers.
  • Don't forget to bring cash to the event. No checks will be accepted at the event.
  • No outside alcohol is permitted.
  • You will be asked to show a valid ID upon entry to pick up will-call tickets.
  • You must show valid identification if you wish to consume alcohol (wine/beer).
  • Please do not forget to tip. All tips at the table go to the volunteer servers. We appreciate their help, and we appreciate your kindness.
  • This is an all-you-can-eat event, so please keep in mind that is while you are at the event. If you want to take some food home, sometimes that is an option at the end of the night. Please see your server towards the end of dinner and ask if you can purchase crab to go.
