Snider Distributes More Than 175 Thanksgiving Meals Just in Time for the Holiday

Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education distributed more than 175 turkeys and Thanksgiving dinner items to Philadelphia families who need it most. With each meal large enough to feed a family of six, 1,050 total individuals were impacted by the giveaway. Thanks to 80 donors who purchased a meal for a family in need, hundreds were able to get food on their tables and create meaningful holiday memories.

Meals were distributed at Simons Recreation Center, with VIP Bernie Parent joining Snider volunteers to help hand out turkeys.

Snider staff volunteered throughout the day, helping to transport the meals from the Brown’s Super Store’s ShopRite and distribute them to the community. Thank you to ShopRite for providing these items at a discounted price! Flyers Hall-of-Fame goalie Bernie Parent lent a hand as well, greeting and taking pictures with the community members.

Along with the meals, local students were also able to pick out free books to take home.

Thank you to everyone who donated a Thanksgiving meal this year – you helped make someone’s holiday season a little brighter!
