Brunch for the Station returns with food from Pasadena’s favorite restaurants, cocktails, live music, and a shared commitment to ending homelessness.
A Morning Worth Savoring
Brunch with a Cause
Pasadena, CA, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Union Station Homeless Services (USHS) will bring back Brunch for the Station for its second year, this time at the Historic Raymond Theatre on October 17, 2026, from 11 AM to 2 PM.
Brunch for the Station is a new take on Evening for the Station, a long-standing favorite event of USHS supporters for over 20 years.
This is a morning worth savoring. Guests will enjoy dishes from local chefs, an assortment of baked goods, customizable Bloody Marys and mimosas, cocktails, and live entertainment, all while helping to end homelessness in the community.
There’s truly something special about gathering over a meal with people who share the same commitment to making a difference.
“We are constantly looking for different ways to connect with the community. Brunch for the Station gives us the opportunity to share a meal, engage with one another, and work together so USHS can continue to provide life-saving resources,” said Katie Hill, CEO of Union Station Homeless Services.
This year, Brunch for the Station takes place in a venue with a special place in Pasadena’s history. Built in 1921, the Raymond Theatre has been an important part of the community for over a century, making it the perfect setting for USHS, an organization deeply rooted in Pasadena.
Brunch with a Cause
Guests can expect to enjoy waffle stacks and oxtail hash from Bone Kettle, chilaquiles and avocado toast from Pez Coastal Kitchen, and mini beef and vegetarian Wellingtons from the USHS Kitchen Team.
But the morning is ultimately about what happens beyond the table.
For more than 50 years, Union Station Homeless Services has worked across the San Gabriel Valley to connect people with supportive services and housing solutions.
All proceeds from Brunch for the Station will help USHS maintain critical programs at a time when resources to address homelessness are uncertain and the need for support continues to grow.
