Upper West Side: The NY Giants Aid Thanksgiving Food Drive

In these perilous economic times, soup kitchens are struggling to feed growing numbers of New Yorkers in need.  This Thanksgiving, the Giants are pitching in.

On Tuesday, November 25, beginning at 10:30 AM, members of the New York Giants will ‘team’ with the Food Bank For New York City.  A total of 350 turkeys and all the fixings will be loaded onto one of the Food Bank’s 54 ft.-long-tractor trailers at the Food Bank’s warehouse, 355 Food Center Drive, in Hunts Point, the Bronx.

At 2:30 PM, the tractor trailer will arrive at the Food Bank’s Community Kitchen of West Harlem at 252 West 116 Street.  There, it will be met by members of the Giants’ D-line who will unload the turkeys and all the fixings and serve the dinner meal to 700 New Yorkers in need. The Food Bank’s Community Kitchen of West Harlem has served more than 92,000 meals this year.
