Readers Write: Thank you for spreading Thanksgiving joy

Thank you to all those who donated gifts of food, money, or time to make our Thanksgiving deliveries such a success!

Through the help of so many, we were able to provide fully prepared Thanksgiving dinners, desserts, and drinks in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Thanksgiving Day – a total of 180 people benefited from your kindness.  Each meal was delivered along with a visit!

None of this would have been possible without the generous support from the following groups: Mineola – Garden City Rotary Club, Boy Scout Pack 243, St. Joseph’s Church, Parkway Community Church, and all the students in Mrs. Pashayan’s art classes at Stewart School who decorated bags and made beautiful cards for each meal.

Thank you to all those who gave their time on Thanksgiving Day to help us deliver meals throughout Nassau County.

This year presented different challenges as it was the first year we were coordinating deliveries in both Nassau County and Suffolk County, where our new home is located.

We are immensely grateful to Msgr. James Swiader and Anna Sirianni from St. Joseph’s Church in Garden City for generously allowing us to use their parking lot!

There are no words to express how grateful we are for helping to make the little idea we had 28 years ago grow into this!

This year’s deliveries bring us to over 7,500 meals that have been provided over the years! We couldn’t have done it without the support of all of you!!

Have a wonderful holiday season!
