For the seventh year, North Brooklyn Angels is bringing neighbors together for Neighbors Giving Thanks: a week of turkeys, shared tables, and more than 100 local volunteers making sure everyone in Bushwick, East Williamsburg, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint can celebrate Thanksgiving with joy and dignity, whatever their means.
Turkeys cost a lot more this year. Our commitment hasn’t changed.
Grocery bills are still stretching our neighbors thin, and turkey prices have climbed steeply since last Thanksgiving. We’re not scaling back. We’re holding the line at 1,000 turkeys, because a family’s holiday table shouldn’t depend on the price of poultry. That promise only holds with your help.
That’s why every gift counts this year, whether it’s $25 or $250.

Two ways to celebrate, one goal: dignity for all
Our neighbors’ needs are different. Some have a kitchen and love to cook but can’t stretch the budget for a turkey. Others don’t have a place to cook, live alone, or simply want to spend the holiday in good company. So we offer both, because choice itself is a form of dignity.

Pull up a chair
All year, our meals are hot and to-go. At Thanksgiving, we open our doors, set the tables, and our volunteers serve neighbors restaurant-style. Prefer to celebrate at home? Freshly packed meals are available for pickup.
We hope you have a big appetite to help!
Every Angel counts
Every gift, at any amount, goes toward a neighbor’s holiday.

Thanksgiving is our most popular volunteer week of the year, and we’re so grateful for that. To keep every site running smoothly, we pair returning volunteers who know our operations with new faces, and we confirm shifts once logistics and fundraising are set.
Volunteer sign-ups are now open! We work hard to make room for as many neighbors as we can.
