Holiday Meals
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas over 1,000 New Yorkers, including many who are homeless, share a meal at Goddard Riverside. These extraordinary community celebrations are made possible with help from volunteers who contribute in a variety of ways – from the overall planning to preparing food and serving it to dropping off a special dessert. To find out how you can become involved, contact Ernie Greizman by e-mail c/o: vfaison@goddard.org or by phone 212-873-6600, extension 370.
