(Courtesy of Yad Leah) Thanksgiving was another day for volunteers to use their day off to give back. For the past eight years friends and families from Teaneck reserve the Yad Leah warehouse for a fun-filled packing event.

“Packing with Yad Leah on Thanksgiving morning reminds us of how much we have to be grateful for and how blessed we are to help others, especially being able to help families in need in Israel. There’s no better way to express our gratitude than by turning it into action,” said Sho Poloner, one of the participants in this year’s event.
