WATERVLIET, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Watervliet is partnering with local businesses and nonprofits to provide Thanksgiving meals to people in need. The service is only open to people who live in Watervliet.
City residents have until November 21 to fill out a request form on the city’s website. Meals will be delivered the day before Thanksgiving by members of the Watervliet police and fire departments as well as city staff and volunteers.
The city expects to have around 200 meals to distribute.
The city is hoping to fill the void left by Equinox after the Albany-based nonprofit decided not to continue their Thanksgiving meal program and focus on year-round food security programs instead.
Anyone with questions is asked to call the Watervliet City Clerk’s office at 518-270-3800 ext. 115 or the Watervliet Housing business office at 518-273-4717.
