Thanksgiving Day Dinner
The Madaro Family Community Fund will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner on Thursday, November 23rd, 2023. We are continuing to hold our Thanksgiving Day Dinner in a hybrid format, preparing hundreds of take-home dinners for pick-up and delivery as well as a sit-down meal setting. Meals will be served from 11:00AM to 1:00PM at the Salesian Boys and Girls Club. We are thrilled to offer free meals to our fellow community members and we hope you can spread the word to anyone who could benefit from a Thanksgiving Day meal.
If you’re interested in volunteering to help with our Thanksgiving Day dinner, we have opportunities for the week before and the week of Thanksgiving, and would love to have you join us. Please fill out this interest form to sign up and we’ll contact you soon with more information.
The Madaro Family Community fund proudly hosts an annual community Thanksgiving Day Dinner every November. Founded in 2007 by former State Representative, Carlo Basile, this is a highly anticipated event marked by delicious food, thankful families, and the warmth of community. The event is a terrific opportunity for neighbors to gather for a day of service in support of families who would otherwise not have the ability to enjoy a traditional holiday feast with all the trimmings. In addition to providing Thanksgiving dinner for roughly 600 families in East Boston between dine-in, home deliveries, and pick-ups, MFCF also distributes over 150 turkeys for families in the community. This event would not be possible without the generosity of so many sponsors, local businesses, and an incredible team of volunteers who take time away from their own families during the holiday to give back to their neighbors.
