This past week, our CPC Brooklyn Older Adult Center hosted a Thanksgiving 🦃 celebration at the CPC Beacon Program at Pershing Junior High School. Our community came together for a warm meal, performances, and raffles! They also received turkeys and goodie bags to prepare their own Thanksgiving meals. Huge thanks to Congressman Goldman, Senator Steven Chan, Assemblyman Chang, and the Office of Council Member Susan Zhuang for celebrating with us!

Our Thanksgiving potluck at CPC School-Age Child Care Center at PS 20 was an absolute blast! From lion dances to the delicious potluck feast, the day was packed with fun and laughter. Thank you to our children and families who joined us in celebrating this festive holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Today, and every day, we are filled with gratitude for the people who make our mission possible: 🙏 To the community members—thank you for allowing us to serve you. 🤝 To our partners and donors—thank you for believing in our mission and supporting our work. 💙 To our staff, Board members, and Leadership Council—thank you for your unwavering commitment and hard work. Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful holiday!

There's nothing we love more than seeing happy faces this time of year! This Thanksgiving, we're distributing 1000 turkeys 🦃 to families in our community to ensure that everyone can gather around the table and enjoy a warm holiday meal. With SNAP benefits still in limbo, this support is more critical than ever as our community recovers from the longest government shutdown in history.
