Hearts to Homes

With the holiday fast approaching, several of the young adults we serve reached out for a helping hand with Thanksgiving meals. Thanks to our generous funders, hardworking students, and intrepid volunteers, we delivered totes packed with: ? Thanksgiving staples: stuffing, gravy, veggies, and spices ? Funds for turkeys ? Kid-friendly snack packs for families A big thank-you to the students of Iona Preparatory School, Fordham Preparatory School, and Annunciation School Crestwood for packing the totes, and our incredible board members and volunteers who delivered them. This weekend’s deliveries were filled with love, smiles, and the true spirit of Thanksgiving. ?? #Thanksgiving2024 #HeartstoHomes #HolidayGiving #Thankful #CommunitySupport
