THE GRAY HOUSE SEEKS TURKEYS TO FEED NEIGHBORS IN NEED
 

Thanksgiving is approaching and The Gray House, a nonprofit human service agency in the North End of Springfield, is requesting donations to help ensure everyone enjoys a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

 

“Our annual Thanksgiving food distribution has an even greater significance this year. The holidays are usually a challenging time for our low-income neighbors. When you factor in all the additional stress and the sacrifices that both children and adults have had to make this year, along with the fact that many families won’t be able to physically be together for the holidays, it can seem insurmountable. This is our chance, as a community, to remind people that we are all in this together and that we will take care of one another. For our turkey recipients, this meal is a reminder that Thanksgiving is not cancelled. We hope it will help them enjoy the holiday to its fullest,” shared Gray House executive director, Kristen McClintock.

 

Knowing that many families won’t be together due to the pandemic, The Gray House has reduced the eligible household size requirement.

This year, households will only need to show that at least two people live together, in addition to proof of financial need.
