On Saturday, February 28, 2015 our annual
"Thanksgiving in February" 2015 luncheon took place - a free meal for those in need in Manhattan.
Not only did our friends from
Con Edison sponsor the event, volunteers were also on-hand to roll up their sleeves and give back. Our food sponsor was
Macy's, and corporate volunteers also donated their time on this chilly Saturday afternoon.
The spirit of giving, usually reserved for the holiday season, could be felt throughout the room as over 400 guests enjoyed a hot Thanksgiving-style meal. Music, balloon-sculpting, magic tricks, face painting - and even Spiderman - added to a fun filled day!
Check out this great video by Con Edison about volunteerism and the day's events.
Thank You to everyone who ensured
#ThxInFeb 2015 was a success, including:
Con Edison,
Macy's and
Jen Arena with her group of young professionals.
