First Presbyterian Church Delivers 215 Thanksgiving Meals to Seniors in Greenwich

The Greenwich Senior Center is thankful to First Presbyterian Church and all of their dedicated, heartfelt 78 volunteers for roasting turkeys, cooking, baking, carving, packing  and delivering meals to seniors in Greenwich – the most vulnerable of all during this pandemic.

In total, the church delivered 215 meals to senior citizens.

First Presbyterian Church, located at the top of Greenwich Avenue, has a 23 year history of preparing and serving annual Thanksgiving meals for seniors at the church. This was the first year the model switched to 100% deliveries.

This is an example of generosity and grace, when so many parishioners joined in to help.

First Presbyterian Church said it seeks to offer compassionate aid to those in need for all people within and beyond its walls.
