The Madaro Family Community Fund’s (MFCF) annual holiday programs, the Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Eastie’s Elves, will once again be celebrated in-person this year. Each holiday season, MFCF has supplied hundreds of meals and donated thousands of toys through the Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Eastie’s Elves events. The Madaro Family Community Fund hopes to spread holiday cheer and give back to those in the community who need it most.
The Thanksgiving Day Dinner will supply nearly a thousand sit-down, carry-out, and delivery meals to local families at the Salesian Boys & Girls Club. Additional program details can be found on the Madaro Family Community Fund’s website at www.madarocharity.org.
MFCF is continuing its community-wide toy drive in honor of the 20th annual Eastie’s Elves. The toy drive will host collection boxes throughout East Boston, Revere, and Winthrop from November 30th to December 13th. The toy drive will conclude once again with the in-person Eastie’s Elves celebration at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor on December 15th, where all are welcome. Admission to the celebration is one new, unwrapped children’s toy.
