Thanksgiving potluck celebrates bond between immigrant workers and people with disabilities

Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a feel good story for readers.

The Concord, Massachusetts-based Guild for Human Services holds an annual pre-Thanksgiving potluck for 70 staff, many of them immigrants, with about 70 residents of a home for persons with intellectual and development disabilities.

"Usually, the annual pre-Thanksgiving potluck is a celebration of the deep connections that staff and residents make at the guild’s school and group homes around the Boston area. But this year, amid growing deportations and anti-immigrant actions, it[ was] also a reminder to workers and families or people with disabilities about the fragility of those connections."

Happy Thanksgiving!
