Since 2016, the UAE Consulate General in LA has been the presenting sponsor of Turkey Trot LA. The Thanksgiving Day race brings together thousands of runners and walkers to raise money for The Midnight Mission – an organization that for 110 years has worked to tackle the challenge of homelessness in Los Angeles.
Giving back to one’s community and helping others are principles deeply instilled in the culture and heritage of the United Arab Emirates, and one of many shared values that unite Americans and Emiratis.

In addition to supporting the race itself, the Consulate General also provides monetary support for The Midnight Mission’s programs to address homelessness in Los Angeles.
