At UCCW, we are deeply committed to fostering a sense of community, compassion, and empowerment—values that shine brightest during the Thanksgiving season. Yesterday, in collaboration with the incredible support of The Market at Pound Ridge Square, Westchester County Office for Women, Giving the Circle of Lower Westchester, Feeding Westchester and Affinity by Molina Healthcare we hosted our annual Turkey and Food Basket Giveaway for the members of the Between Friends Support Group.
This beautiful initiative is about more than just distributing food. It’s a celebration of togetherness, resilience, and the traditions that define this special time of year. Thanksgiving is not just a holiday—it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for the blessings we share, even amidst challenges.
The giveaway was a testament to what can be achieved when organizations and individuals join forces. The strength and courage of the women in the Between Friends Support Group, survivors of domestic violence, inspire us every day. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the dedication of everyone involved, we were able to brighten the lives of countless families by helping them create a warm, love-filled Thanksgiving table.
The Importance of Tradition and Community
Traditions like Thanksgiving are more than just rituals; they are opportunities to cultivate connections and nurture bonds with our loved ones. For many families, sitting around the table for a Thanksgiving meal represents hope, love, and the promise of a better future.
By preserving these traditions and supporting families during this season, we strengthen not only individual households but the entire community. This is why UCCW works tirelessly to empower those who come to us for help, ensuring they feel supported and valued, especially during these meaningful moments.
Gratitude and Collaboration
We are incredibly grateful to The Market at Pound Ridge Square and the Westchester County Office for Women, Giving the Circle of Lower Westchester, Feeding Westchester and Affinity by Molina Healthcare for their unwavering support. Their contributions, along with the hard work of our staff and volunteers, make this event possible year after year. It’s through this collective effort that we can make an impact in the lives of so many.
To the members of the Between Friends Support Group, your resilience reminds us why we do what we do. Together, we’re not just supporting survivors; we’re building a foundation of hope, empowerment, and community strength.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on yesterday’s event, we are reminded of the importance of working together to create a compassionate future. Thanksgiving may come once a year, but the spirit of gratitude and giving is something we aim to carry forward every day.
We invite you to join us in continuing this mission—to empower, support, and celebrate the beauty of community. Together, we can ensure that every family has the opportunity to create meaningful traditions and cherish moments of joy.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at UCCW! 🧡
