JFS of Greenwich recently hosted its second annual Friendsgiving event, extending a warm welcome to families who have recently arrived in the United States. The gathering was filled with joy and inclusivity, creating a supportive environment for everyone.
The perfect weather set the stage for an afternoon of fun, with children participating in games and enjoying a delicious meal. A spirited soccer match unfolded as newcomers and volunteer boys came together on the field, fostering connections through friendly competition. Guests were treated to a traditional Thanksgiving feast, featuring turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and, of course, pumpkin pie.
Special thanks to Brunswick School for their ongoing support and amazing soccer players; Greenwich Country Day School for organizing games and providing a student photographer; King School for the turkey crafts and face painting; and student volunteers from Rye Country Day and Greenwich High School. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Father Bohdan Tymchyshyn at St. Basil Seminary for hosting and supporting the event for the second year.
