2015 Free Holiday Buffet For The Bronx’s Neediest
We would like to invite you to support our 2015 Free Winter Holiday Buffet for the Bronx’s neediest. It will be held on December 23, 2015. Typically, winter holidays are a time of joy, merriment, and celebration – but they can also be one of the loneliest times of the year. The needy and senior citizens often struggle through the season because loved ones may live far away, or the friends they’ve known for years have passed on. What should be a happy time becomes one of isolation and even depression. To mitigate this problem, our organization has planned weeklong activities including movies and carol evenings, culminating in the free holiday buffet on December 23, 2015 for needy and our senior citizens. We will feed a minimum of 300 people in our spacious community center. You are cordially invited to generously support this event and invest in someone’s life.
