9. Donate Thanksgiving Food
This year, more than ever, those in need could use help from their fellow New Yorkers. While in-person volunteer opportunities are limited due to COVID-19, local charities and soup kitchens around the city are still doing all they can to make sure no one goes hungry this Thanksgiving. If you want to help, there are many ways you can donate.
On Thanksgiving morning, Gobble Gobble NYC will collect then distribute donations of canned and packaged foods, toiletries, baby items, new clothing, blankets, toys or pandemic supplies. You can drop off donations at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem. You must pre-register pre-register to make a donation drop-off. Another way to help is by donating a turkey to help the West Side Campaign Against Hunger meet their goal in the Thousand Turkey Challenge. Check out your own local charities to find more ways to give back during this season of gratitude.
