iEat Green hopes everyone has a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving, surrounded by the love of family and friends. May your holiday table be filled with deliciousness, gratitude, and thankfulness, as we enjoy the abundance of the season. And let’s not forget those people in our midst, who are less fortunate than us. No one, especially in a rich country like ours, should be going to bed hungry! Let’s work together to make food a political issue! Food is something that connects us all, and it has the power to change the world! 

In case you missed it, iEat Green’s, Bhavani Jaroff, spent the weekend cooking with hundreds of volunteers. For the past 24 years, she has partnered with the River Fund NY, a non-profit organization based out of Jamaica, Queens, that supports people in need, to put on a Thanksgiving Feast for the People. It’s always the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. She gets a lot of the food donated, and her home becomes a huge working station to cook food for 1,000 people. It is a wonderful weekend where people come together to cook for a greater cause, and it all culminates with a Banquet of Thanksgiving Love!

Here are some wonderful photos from the event, and the cooking prep weekend!
