More than 1,700 generous volunteers joined us today to help us prepare and deliver a record-breaking 8,400 Thanksgiving meals for people living with HIV, cancer and other life-altering illnesses in the New York City metropolitan area. This year’s meal delivery included 4,000 guest meals, so that each client could invite a friend to spend the holiday with them. Our holiday meals were delivered in cheerful, hand-decorated bags designed by local school children. Each household (out of 4,000) also received a holiday tote bag filled with treats and personal care items to help make the day special. These bags were generously donated by The Krumholz Foundation; the Binn Family Foundation in loving memory of Penny Binn Binstock, Stewart Lantner, DDS & Joseph Goldberg, DDS; and AXA.
Thank you to everyone who made today possible as we worked together to #CelebrateWithAPlate!
Here’s what it took to make our Thanksgiving meal:
God’s Love also served a vegetarian entrée, as well as minced and pureed Thanksgiving meals for clients whose medical conditions require those modifications.
Thanksgiving at God’s Love is a huge community effort and we could not do it without our volunteers and supporters. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at God’s Love!
