"The Thanksgiving food distribution began last week and continues this week, but the event at St. Patrick's is a traditional ceremony designed to draw attention to the effort and inspire others to join in helping meet the need. We filled a food truck with food to feed those without, Cardinal Dolan said near a truck with the words Feeding our Neighbors as well as Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New York and 100 years providing help, creating hope. People are in a generous, charitable mood. Catholic Charities does this all year, every day, all the time."
"They plan to distribute more than 500 turkeys and traditional fixings on Tuesday at the annual Thanksgiving distribution at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Community Center in Harlem. Cardinal Dolan said he was extraordinarily grateful for support in their efforts and hopes to inspire others to join in helping others. Bless us, bless this food we are honored to share. Continue to make our land fruitful, he said. Let our love for you be seen, and our pursuit of peace and justice and charity."
Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York organized a Thanksgiving food distribution after Sunday Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. A 21-foot truck with about 7,000 pounds of food was parked outside a mass attended by around 2,500 people. The distribution began last week and continues through the week, aiming to feed more than 3,000 families. More than 500 turkeys and traditional fixings will be distributed at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Community Center in Harlem. Cardinal Dolan blessed the food, thanked donors, and urged others to join in providing aid. Catholic Charities operates roughly 90 agencies across 10 counties.
