🦃 FEDSgiving 2025: A Feast of Gratitude and Community

Sunday, November 16, 2025 (2:30 PM - 6:30 PM) (EST)

Description

Because our federal family deserves thanks. No one in our community needs to be reminded that it’s been a difficult year. Many of our federal colleagues and partners have faced uncertainty, financial strain, and tremendous pressure — yet they continue to serve with dedication, heart, and purpose.

FEDSgiving is our way of saying thank you. Join us for a late-afternoon feast and celebration to honor our current and former federal colleagues who have endured a tumultuous year. 

Let’s come together for food, fun, and fellowship — to show that our community truly stands together.

Enjoy an afternoon filled with:

  • A full Thanksgiving feast — all the traditional favorites
  • Crafts and face-painting for the kids
  • Cocktails and horsdevours 
  • Laughter, music, and true community camaraderie

💛 Who’s Invited

  • Current and former federal employees: Free admission — this event is for you.
  • Industry and community partners: Nominal registration fee to help cover costs.

This event isn’t about profit — it’s about people. Your contribution helps us create an exceptional experience for those who’ve served the public through a tough year.


🥧 How You Can Help

We’re inviting our friends, sponsors, and partner organizations to co-host or support by bringing a dish or donating toward the feast.

If your organization would like to sponsor or co-host, reach out to us — we’d love to feature you as part of the team making this day possible. Reach out to kwhite@gtscoalition.com for more information. 


🤝 Join the FEDSgiving Committee

We’re assembling a leadership committee of community champions and thought leaders to help bring this idea to life. If you’re passionate about supporting the federal workforce, please join us in planning and outreach.

Interested?
Let us know you’re in — and suggest others we should invite to the table.
Together, we can give our federal family the recognition (and celebration!) they deserve.
