It's that time again!! SHARE's 30th Anniversary Thanksgiving Dinner for the Homeless
In 1987, a public school art teacher and mother of three led a dozen student and adult volunteers into New York City late one Saturday night on something called a 'Midnight Run'; and their intention was to meet some strangers who could use a little attention and kindness and a warm meal.
In 1989, Hastings High School hosted the first Thanksgiving Dinner for the Homeless, where art teacher Jeanne Newman personally welcomed each of the 125 homeless and working poor guests who'd been bused in from the city - a practice she - and hundreds of SHARE student and adult volunteers - repeat each and every year since.
In 2019, all of us at SHARE the Project, Inc. are continuing to work toward our 30th Anniversary Thanksgiving Dinner for the Homeless celebration, held this coming November 26th.
