STAMFORD – More than 125 hot Thanksgiving Day dinners were presented to community members November 25 at New Convenant Center. Supporting the annual outreach activity were members of St. Leo Parish, who donated, prepared, packaged and filled to-go plates to provide a nutritious meal to all those who are hungry. Recipients began lining up outside the center midday for the food assistance program.
The November event is sponsored each year by the St. Leo Social Concerns Committee with generous support from parishioners. The NCC holiday meal includes turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and green bean casserole, pumpkin and apple pie, muffins and fruit. Students from St. Leo’s catechism program contributed colorful placemats they created and other church members contributed in many ways to ensure the success of the annual holiday event.
