Join us for our annual Community Thanksgiving dinner at Fort Washington Church on November 17, 2024, at 1PM. This meal is open to the community, and it provides a vital moment of nourishment and fellowship for families and individuals in need.
As we have done in the past, we are seeking food contributions from our neighborhood partners (grocery stores, delis, restaurants, and more). In particular, we are seeking perishable items such as: green beans, onions, celery, carrots, yams, milk, dinner rolls, butter, as well as non-perishable items such as: instant stuffing, canned items (canned chicken stock, mixed vegetables, hams, and cranberry sauce), instant potatoes, and drinks (sodas and juices).
If you would like to contribute, we would appreciate hearing in advance what specifically you will be offering and when we can pick it up.
· You can let us know this information by calling our office at 212-568-4014, emailing ddavis@fortwashingtonchurch.org or speaking directly with our volunteer.
· If you would like to bring your contribution to the church, please do so during business hours, 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday, until Nov 15.
· In addition, if your establishment would like to provide cooked items such as pies, pastries, side dishes, or other warm or cold dishes or beverages, please bring them to Fort Washington Collegiate Church, 729 West 181th St, on Saturday, November 16th between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
o Whatever you decide, please let us know ahead of time what your contribution will be.
