It’s one of the most important holidays in the United States. Family members get together in joy and good mood. And its also a day when people do not forget to help those in need.
That’s why the organization Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly organizes a meal each year to allow isolated elderly people to enjoy this holiday and find themselves in a friendly environment.
Hundreds of volunteers made this celebration possible in the 7 chapters and allowed hundreds of elderly people to enjoy this moment during which they could talk, laugh, dance and share a good meal with the traditional turkey.
Leo Niemczyk, an elderly person from Boston, was asked where he would spend Thanksgiving if the event did not exist and he simply answered: “I’d be home in my apartment by myself”.
Those who could not join the parties were not forgotten: some home deliveries have been organized.
