The dinners, which were prepared by renowned restaurateur Peter Kelly of X2O the on Hudson Restaurant, consisted of sliced turkey, apple and sausage stuffing, potato puree, giblet gravy, French string beans with shallots, cranberry sauce and a slice of homemade pumpkin nut bread.

“Our seniors struggled during the early months of Covid because of food insecurity,” Wilson Kimball, president and CEO of MHACY said. “We are so grateful to Peter Kelly, a success story who grew up in municipal housing in Yonkers and our development partners for their on-going support of our residents.”
