The ABCD North End/West End Neighborhood Service Center (NE/WE NSC) recently held its Thanksgiving luncheon. Over 75 members of the community, nearly all of them seniors from the neighborhoods, came to the center at 1 Michelangelo Street in the North End to enjoy salad, turkey, pasta, potato, vegetables, and pumpkin pie. The NE/WE NSC’s fantastic team of volunteers cooked the meal, as they do every week, and handled everything from menu planning, shopping, cooking, serving, and clean-up! They do it with such love and dedication and the NE/WE NSC cannot thank them enough for their ongoing support.

Special guests included Maria Guarino, President of Church on the Hill; Gisella Di Paola and Christine Falzarano from Eagle Bank; and folks from the North End/Waterfront Health Association. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
