“We believe we have an obligation to help our community hold on to the traditions that we have come to love.”
The East Harlem Caring Coalition will provide free Thanksgiving Dinners for hundreds of families in need living in East Harlem/El Barrio who continue to experience financial hardships during these difficult economic times.
