Council Member Rita Joseph stated, "We're here welcoming the community and those who may not have family to celebrate Thanksgiving with. We're thankful to be able to serve, and of course, for my young people who cooked the food from scratch, which is amazing." This highlights the event's mission of inclusivity and gratitude, showcasing the efforts of local youth in creating a warm holiday atmosphere.
The festive luncheon, which has become a beloved community event, was organized through collaborations among various local entities, including the Church-Flatbush Community Alliance and Kings Theatre. This reflects the spirit of teamwork in bringing together residents for a shared celebration.
The historic Kings Theatre, which underwent a significant renovation and reopened in 2015, continues to play an essential role in community engagement by hosting events like the Thanksgiving luncheon, emphasizing the importance of place in fostering community connections.
