In a city where 1 in 6 New Yorkers rely on food pantries each day and 1 in 4 face income poverty, MOFAD believes that every one of us deserves a Thanksgiving feast. This year, we are partnering with CAMBA to serve and welcome 42 of our neighbors in need to our dinner table, thanks to a generous donation from Fairway. A delicious Thanksgiving meal will be prepared by our in-house Exhibition Chef, John Hutt, and the families will be served by MOFAD staffers and CAMBA's Junior Board.
This is a private event. For more information, please contact anna@mofad.org.
