Brookline Thrives updates & needs, week of Nov 13 - 17

Posted: 11/13/2023 2:09 pm

From Sharon Brockmann, Brookline Thrives Manager:

Dear Everyone,

What a sunny and delightfully chilly weekend!

To all of our Thrives families who observe Diwali we send you a Diwali wish filled with hope, positivity and the promise of brighter days ahead.

This week the Food Pantry is beginning its Thanksgiving Dinner offerings to their clients. This includes Thrive families who signed up to receive the delicious meal of turkey or chicken, potatoes, onions, carrot, apples, stuffing mix, gravy, pie and more!

Next week there will be NO THRIVES packing/delivering. Schools close at Noon on Wednesday, 22nd so there will not be enough time to pack and delivery bags. We will start up again the following week beginning, Nov 27th.

Thank you, Sharon
