The Dalles, Ore. Aug. 29, 2025 — The Dalles Kiwanis Club will host its annual Steak Feed on Thursday, Sept. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Sorosis Park.

The community tradition, now in its 69th year, is the club’s largest fundraiser to support programs benefiting children and families in The Dalles and the Mid-Columbia region.

A $26 ticket includes an 8-ounce sirloin steak, baked potato, coleslaw, roll, dessert and one drink. Children 12 and under, when accompanied by a ticket holder, eat free with a hot dog, chips, dessert and drink.

Tickets are available online at thedalleskiwanis.org/steak-feed, from Kiwanis members, at the Chamber of Commerce, or at the Farmers Market on Aug. 30. A limited number of tickets may also be available at the park on the day of the event.

Proceeds help fund local projects such as Key Club leadership development, the Community Backpack Program for food-insecure students, Challenger Little League, and scholarships for children’s summer art camps. Kiwanis also supports regional efforts including the Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program at OHSU and Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp for adults with disabilities.

“The Steak Feed is more than a meal—it’s a chance to gather with neighbors, enjoy the last days of summer, and give back to the community,” said Kiwanis event organizers.
