More than 1,200 Thanksgiving baskets will be distributed this weekend across four sites as part of LifeWorks Community Action’s annual Thanksgiving Basket program. This will help over 5,500 people celebrate Thanksgiving this year with a hearty holiday meal.
Well into the second year of the pandemic, the community’s need is greater than ever. Thankfully, community partners have stepped up to help LifeWorks make this project a reality, including Quad Graphics, The Food Pantries for the Capital District, Ballston Spa National Bank, Corinth Elementary School, The Salvation Army, Harvest Church and the Presbyterian-New England Congregational Church (PNECC).
