September 12, 2024Thanksgiving Meal Prep
Saturday, November 23rd
Each year our community provides meals to over 4,000 people in Westchester, Fairfield, and the Bronx. Beginning Saturday, November 23rd, hundreds of volunteers shop for, cook and prepare food (and Thanksgiving cards). There are so many ways to be involved, and we need YOUR HELP to make this holiday special for our neighbors in need!
- Make a financial donation HERE - be sure to select THANKSGIVING from the drop down menu when you make your donation.
- For those that want to cook collectively at Shaaray, we welcome you to sign up to cook and prep food. No cooking talent necessary and kids welcome! We also love when people cook at home – either with their own families or in small groups – and then bring the food to Shaaray for distribution. This food is shared with people who don't have the means to prepare food themselves. SIGN UP HERE.
- We need many people to shop for and donate groceries and supplies, so that individuals can cook meals in their homes for their families AND so that we can cook meals together at Shaaray. SIGN UP HERE.
- We need volunteer drivers to help transport our cooked meals and groceries throughout our area during the week of Thanksgiving. Please be prepared with an empty trunk and be able to carry bags of groceries. SIGN UP HERE
- We are looking for leaders and promoters, who want to work on the ground level with us and help this amazing endeavor continue to grow! We need help before the week of Thanksgiving as well as during that week, so if you are interested and organized, please sign up or reach out to us. SIGN UP HERE.
To those who have helped in the past, thank you again for your support. And for those that are new, please join in – this is always a very special community event, in large part because of the generous and enthusiastic participation of so many. Our Community Thanksgiving Group is open to everyone and anyone! For additional information, please contact Gary Cohn or Gayle Wasserman.
