Comfort Diner

11/22/2016

On Thursday, we will be serving Thanksgiving dinner to those less fortunate than ourselves for the 21st year. It's the only Thanksgiving celebration my daughters know and it's long been their favorite holiday. One of my daughters set up a way to make donations via gofundme. Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving - Ira and everyone at The Comfort Diner

Our 20th year of feeding homeless families (from 2 NYC shelters) a Thanksgiving dinner along with a visit from Santa complete with gifts is in grave danger. It seems as though NYC won't pay overtime for a shelter employee to accompany them. Does anyone know how to reach the mayor or otherwise prevent this from happening?
