With Thanksgiving less than two weeks away, dozens of volunteers gathered at an Upper East Side synagogue Sunday to pack goods for those in need.
The event started with prayer and breakfast, then about 60 people assembled packages full of snacks, clothes, hygienic products and more.
"We'll be making 1,500 packages for those in need, whether it be food insecurities or for those living on the streets or in residences across the five boroughs," said Susan Kaufman, Tikkun Olam committee chair.
