EastTimes-Free Boston Press PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley PUBLISHER: Debra DiGregorio Forum EDITOR:: Cary Shuman PUBLISHER EMERITUS: John A. Torrone HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, tracing its roots back almost 400 years to the Pilgrims, long before there was even a thought of a United States of America. Thanksgiving is the ultimate family-centered holiday. It has no religious meaning, no national-celebration connota- tions, and no required gift-giving. It lacks the commercial- ism, religiosity, solemnity, and political overtones of all of our other national observances. It‚Äôs a day for schoolboy football, family gatherings, and not much else to do other than enjoy a great dinner with those whom we love and care about. It is the only day on the calendar when we have no ob- ligation other than to spend the day with those who mean the most to us. It asks nothing more from each of us (other than for the person who is doing all the cooking!) beyond just showing up and enjoying the company of our family and friends and then having a great meal. Even in this time of divisiveness in our country, we all can agree that Thanksgiving makes us aware of what we have to be thankful for.

GIVING THANKS TOGETHER IN OUR COMMUNITY

Pictured L-R: Audrey Nagle, Massport’s Manager of Charitable Giving Programs; Alaina Coppola, Massport’s Director of Community Relations & Government Affairs; Shakira Ford, Program Coordinator, Crossroads Family Center

Throughout the upcoming holiday season, families and friends throughout the Boston area will gather to give thanks for each other, and for the food we enjoy as part of our traditions.

Most of us are fortunate enough to enjoy full tables, but the Greater Boston Food Bank reports that hunger affects one in eleven of our neighbors in Eastern Massachusetts and 34% earn too much to qualify for emergency food assistance provided by the government.

This year, Massport is pleased to provide food donations to three programs in our community: Crossroads Family Center in East Boston; Winthrop Community Food Pantry; and South Boston Community Health Center Food Pantry. These three organizations serve hundreds of people each month, and often mean the difference between paying for heat and having enough food for the family to eat.

As we enter the holiday season, we are reminded that these programs and many others provide critical assistance year-round to the most vulnerable members of our community.
