Thanksgiving Care

As in every year, the end of November is highlighted by Thanksgiving and the start of the Holiday Season. November is also National Caregivers Month.

A tradition at the Greater New York Chapter is to provide Thanksgiving meals to people living with ALS and their family and caregivers. This year nine families received a traditional Thanksgiving meal with a turkey, delicious sides, and dessert. Additionally, family and caregivers receive a basket with plates, napkins, cups, and some delectable treats to complement the holiday and to ease some of the added stress that comes with the season.

Special thanks to the dedicated volunteers and members of the Chapter's Young Professionals Group (YPG) for delivering these baskets and bringing families impacted by ALS a bit of cheer during the holidays.
