(Madison, NJ) – November 24, 2023 – This Thanksgiving, we celebrate community and support. Ten families within the Y’s own community were identified by the Madison Area YMCA to receive Thanksgiving dinners, courtesy of The Oldendorp Group in Summit. The families are members of the Family Center, the F.M. Kirby Children’s Center, and Project Community Pride of the Madison Area YMCA. Through this donation event, the Oldendorp Group celebrates the spirit of Thanksgiving, emphasizing the importance of gratitude, giving, and service. The Madison Area YMCA's Rosettes Gymnastics Team volunteered their time decorating the donation boxes to express gratitude for this bountiful Thanksgiving!
