No matter what shape these gatherings take, most of us will be spending some of the Thanksgiving holiday eating way too much food and hanging out with relatives. If you know a senior who’d like a meal, or if you would like to volunteer, call 201-685-7273 or email [email protected]. People began to gather well before the distribution site’s 1 p.m. start time.
