An Opportunity for Service

The East Greenbush YMCA (one of our community partners) is looking for volunteers to help with their Basket Brigade. Volunteers help assemble Thanksgiving baskets with donated food (including turkeys), or drive baskets to designated families (always 2 drivers together).

Here is the description and link from the Y.

The Caring Community Basket Brigade serves families in need throughout the capital region by providing a full Thanksgiving meal. Every family deserves the opportunity to gather with their loved ones during the holidays. With the help of our donors and volunteers we can make sure that families have all of the fixings and a turkey to cook a Thanksgiving meal for their loved ones. Serving families since 2016, our Caring Community Basket Brigade is set to serve 1500 families this Thanksgiving season. To volunteer, please follow this link.
