Here's a quick recap of the Community Holiday Feast in Tompkins Square Park yesterday afternoon. 

For starters, given the weather on Saturday, organizers, including Jeremiah Moss and EVG contributor Stacie Joy, had to move the event to the rain date of yesterday.

From 2-4 p.m., volunteers served 600-plus free hot meals in the Park... providing some good food and vibes in the process... 
The following businesses and residents donated to the event:

Scooter LaForge, Stacie Joy, C&B Cafe, S'MAC, Food for Life, Marjorie Ingall and Jonathan Steuer, Chris Flash, Mary O's, San Loco, Rossy's Bakery, Molly Crabapple, EVLovesNYC, Gavin Downie, Jon Thornton, Tiffeani James, Jeremiah Moss and Rebecca Levi, Derrick the Abolitionist, Leslie Feinberg, Hank Chmielinski and Holli Porreca, Rosie Kahn and Dan Grimes.

Stacie and Jeremiah also thank all the community members who donated their time yesterday volunteering for the Community Feast. And to all a happy and healthy holiday season...

    Don't have cooking facilities and getting a hot cooked meal is appreciated. Thanks.

    So delicious and heartwarming! I had the banana bread and Indian curry-like meal, does anyone know if that was one of the restaurants or home made? Would love the recipes for those <3

    For anonymous at 9:50pm, that meal was made by Mario Cornejo, one of the chefs at Food For Life! You can learn more about the organization here: https://evgrieve.com/2020/04/a-visit-to-interfaith-community.html. If you get the chance, try Mario's cauliflower pakoras with tomato chutney!
