Special Thank You to George Capodagli, Meridia Lifestyles, Lifestyles II and their Team Members

They have supported this effort over the last six years by donating turkeys and their fixings. On behalf of our families in need, especially this year with the high rising costs of food, we thank them for their continued generosity and participation in helping the Linden community thrive!
