Today, East Village Loves NYC — the local volunteer group formed in the spring of 2020 to feed people in need during the pandemic — prepared and distributed its third-annual Thanksgiving meal citywide. (More background here.)

EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by the group's home base at the Sixth Street Community Center ... 
Later, several volunteers passed out Thanksgiving meals in Tompkins Square Park. (EV Loves NYC started a distribution on Sundays at 1:45 p.m. back in the summer for anyone in the neighborhood who needs food, water and health care supplies.) 

Thanksgiving meals were on the menu today...

An excellent use for the seven billion FreshDirect bags the company has generously left everyone with.

God bless them all, especially that they are out distributing holiday meals in such cold weather. There's a lot of heart and love at work there!
