Thank you for your Donations
More than 500 families were able to enjoy their own home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner thanks to the annual turkey and trimmings distribution held November 22, 2019.
A festive atmosphere filled with upbeat songs spun by DJ Domingo surrounded the pantry, affectionately known as “the little green building,” in Harlem Heights. As recipients awaited their turn, they could partake in face painting and coloring for the children, enjoy hot dogs and popcorn, visit with friends, and even get a haircut.
“Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year,” said Gladiolus Food Pantry founder and director Miriam Ortiz. “God has blessed us with generous donations from the community and with volunteers who give their time. We love our customers and are grateful to be able to help them enjoy this holiday of thanks.”
