Photos from a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat

Thanks to United Way of Hudson County and particularly its executive director, Daniel Altilio, the Sharing Place at St. Paul Lutheran Church was able to provide a fresh, hot Thanksgiving feast to over 250 of our needy neighbors on Thanksgiving Day. United Way donated all the food and provided the bulk of the volunteers. The Culinary Institute donated refrigerator space so that volunteers could cook on Wednesday rather than having to arrive at 2 am on Thanksgiving Day! Santos Murillo, Sharing Place director, recruited these good folks and made sure we were able to provide a tasty meal for our guests. Many church members dropped by to make sure our guests felt welcome. We’ll do this again next year!
