Bay Area Crisis Nursery Hosts 25th Annual Crab Feed Fundraiser

The Bay Area Crisis Nursery will return to Carondelet High School in Concord on February 28, 2026, for its milestone 25th Annual Crab Feed, a community charity event that pairs classic seaside fare with a pasta-forward Italian spread. The evening’s all-you-can-eat menu highlights Dungeness crab alongside pasta, salad, and warm French bread, designed to appeal to families and groups who want a generous, communal dining experience while supporting a local nonprofit.

Organizers set the ticket price at $75 and say the event typically fills its 350-seat capacity, so early registration is recommended for anyone planning to attend. The fundraising target for the night is $90,000, and the program is designed to drive donations beyond ticket sales. Attendees can expect a full lineup of fundraising activities, including silent and live auctions, raffle drawings, and a dessert auction, all scheduled to take place throughout the evening.

Beyond the meal, the event functions as a community gathering that brings neighbors, local businesses, and supporters together in a festive atmosphere. For those looking to contribute directly, participating in auctions and raffles is a practical way to increase the event’s impact. Purchasing a ticket guarantees a place at the table and helps the organization pursue its stated fundraising goal for the year.

Because the Crab Feed has sold out in past years and caps attendance at roughly 350 guests, planning ahead will be important. Tickets and registration links are available through the event’s online listing. Community members who miss out on in-person seating may want to watch for future events and fundraisers offered by the organization.

As the event marks a quarter-century of annual Crab Feeds, it remains one of the region’s seasonal charity highlights that centers food, fellowship, and fundraising. For anyone who loves a generous pasta course alongside fresh Dungeness crab, the February dinner offers both a satisfying meal and a direct way to support a local cause.
