Thanksgiving Will Be Coming Early at the Boys and Girls Club Greenwich

Thanksgiving will be coming a couple days early for more than 400 Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich members.

Next Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m. the youngster will enjoy their 12th annual Thanksgiving feast provided by community partners and served by community leaders, volunteers and Club Board members.

“The annual feast enables club members (for some of whom this will be their only Thanksgiving dinner) a chance to eat a nutritious meal with club staff and peers as a family — keeping in line with the club’s commitment to offer kids a safe and nurturing environment and a sense of belonging,” BGCG program director Don Palmer said in a statement.

This year’s feast will feature a bevy of holiday favorites including turkey with gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fresh green beans, and apple and pumpkin pies thanks to a cornucopia of generous sponsors.

“If it wasn’t for our sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to continue this tradition. It means so much to our members,” Palmer said.

Credit Suisse, Smith Party Rentals, Watson’s Catering, the Wolff Family and Stew Leonard’s will provide the delicious experience.
