BlumShapiro Thanksgiving Food Basket Campaign for Christian Community Action
For the second consecutive year, more than 2,000 families and seniors in New Haven enjoyed a full, traditional Thanksgiving meal thanks to the food collection and distribution efforts of the BlumShapiro Thanksgiving Food Basket Campaign for Christian Community Action.
The two-month collection efforts included a bagging weekend, pictured here, when BlumShapiro employees, their families and others prepared bags of food at the Casa Community Center prior to the week of Thanksgiving.
More than 40 New Haven-area businesses, churches, schools and other organizations, including News 8, joined BlumShapiro in this community-wide effort.
