Delivery Thanksgiving Meals to Brooklyn's Older Neighbors!

Heights and Hills is preparing for another Thanksgiving! For the past five years, we have reached more of our catchment area through meal deliveries and will continue them this year. We are looking forward to our volunteers delivering a delicious meal with a side of community love to our clients. Our organization will collaborate with the Service Collective, BloomAgain, Park Slope Parents and other community partners to fulfill this wonderful day of service and thanks.

We continue to honor the spirit of this event by focusing our resources on delivering Thanksgiving meals to Heights and Hills’ most vulnerable homebound clients. These older adults are experiencing the chronic challenges of being homebound and isolated day in and day out, and we want to be sure they are not forgotten on a holiday, which can be especially difficult for those living alone.

We will need volunteers to make Thanksgiving Day deliveries on foot, by car (preferred), bike, and other modes of transportation. Signing up to volunteer for Heights and Hills is simple! Please carefully read and complete the volunteer form. The form provides delivery details and allows you to sign up for available delivery time slots on Thursday, November 26. If you would like to assist in delivery set up or other volunteer work, such as pie cutting and packaging on Wednesday, November 25 from noon to 4 pm, or including a card or other project with the meals, please email our Volunteer Program Director, Adina Matos, at amatos@heightsandhills.org.

We will continue our tradition of accepting pie donations to be included in this year’s meal deliveries. Please sign up here to bake or buy a pie to drop by the Park Slope Center for Successful Aging, address provided in form, on Wednesday 11/25 from noon to 4 pm.

If you cannot volunteer for Thanksgiving, please consider a contribution to support our impactful work. Thank you!
