John A. Coleman School & Children’s Rehabilitation Center to Donate Nearly 80 Thanksgiving Dinners

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - Nov. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Every year, a growing number of staff from the St. Elizabeth Seton Children’s Foundation take part in the tradition of assembling and donating baskets with Thanksgiving dinners to our families. This year was no exception.

Staff members from the Yonkers and White Plains campuses of the John A. Coleman School and the Children’s Rehabilitation Center in White Plains worked diligently to put together traditional Thanksgiving dinners for our families in need, complete with all the festive fixings. We couldn’t have done it without our friends Thomson Reuters in Valhalla, Holy Innocents Church in Pleasantville,  Resurrection Grammar School in Rye and PepsiCo, who all donated baskets to our worthy cause, as well. Thanks to the generosity of our staff and our friends in the community, we will be able to send home baskets to nearly 80 families this Thanksgiving – the largest number of dinners we’ve ever been able to donate.
