This Thanksgiving, families across HFH Family Residences came together to share meals, create festive crafts, and celebrate their cultures and traditions. Here’s a look at how they celebrated!
The Culinary Team at Allie’s Place Center for Culinary Education & Employment made a carefully crafted Thanksgiving feast for the families at Allie’s Place. Residents picked up to-go bags brimming with herb-roasted turkey, buttery garlic green beans, homemade cranberry sauce, freshly baked dinner rolls, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and mini pumpkin pies.
Students in Allie’s Place Afterschool kicked off their Thanksgiving celebration posing for photos with their inflatable turkey. They then shared a festive dinner with friends, taking time to reflect on what they were most thankful for this year.
Families at Clinton gathered for a Thanksgiving celebration, enjoying a delicious turkey meal together. The day was filled with games, good food, and time to connect with the Clinton community.
Thanksgiving at Saratoga Early Ed brought together creativity and cultural traditions. The kids worked together to create a vibrant turkey centerpiece out of fruit kebabs and gave paper turkeys unique hairstyles at a “Thanksgiving barbershop.” Later, families joined in to decorate wreaths, share music from their cultures, and celebrate diverse Thanksgiving traditions.
At Allie’s Place Early Ed, the kids worked together to create a colorful turkey snack using graham crackers, cheese, and fruit—practicing their “cooking” skills along the way by learning how to safely cut fruit with kid-friendly knives. Parents also joined for a Thanksgiving lunch and family photos.
Families joined the Prospect Afterschool kids for a Thanksgiving event that brought everyone together. They decorated their own placemats and, after enjoying the delicious food, wrapped up the celebration with a lively dance party.
