NOVEMBER 16: FEDSgiving
FEDSgiving is a late-afternoon feast and fun-filled community event created as a heartfelt thank you to our current and former federal colleagues. After a challenging and tumultuous year for so many in public service, this gathering is meant to bring everyone together in the spirit of gratitude, resilience, and camaraderie.
It’s a celebration of service — a moment to pause, share good food, enjoy good company, and remember that we’re stronger together.
At its core, FEDSgiving is about community and connection. We’re blending the warmth of Thanksgiving with the energy of a fall festival:
A full Thanksgiving feast — turkey, sides, and desserts (with plenty of extras!)
Face painting & crafts for the kids
Cocktails & conversation for the adults
Camaraderie for all — reconnect, recharge, and reflect together
This isn’t a fundraiser — it’s a thank-you. Current and former feds are invited to attend for free. Members of industry are welcome to join with a nominal registration fee to help cover venue and catering costs.
