They prepared baskets for Thanksgiving.<br \/>\nA friend of me told me about the 5th annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade and asked me if I want to help and spent some food, like some vegetables or stuffing. Something you need to have a Thanksgiving dinner. So we did. We went to the store with two more friends and bought food. On the Sunday morning we went to Stony Brook to help to prepare 40 baskets for 40 families. It wasn&#8217;t just us and her host family, their were a lot of more helpers. Some of them do it every year and it was nice to be a part of it this year. I was surprised to see how much food they got together. So we got to work. We started to fill the baskets with turkey, vegetables, pies, fruits, stuffing, mashed potatoes and more.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1953\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/lie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2013\/12\/2013-11-24_11.55.17.jpg\" alt=\"2013-11-24_11.55.17\" width=\"314\" height=\"235\" \/>We wrapped them up and after 3 hours, I think, we were done with all 40 baskets.<br \/>\nRight after we prepared the baskets some of the helpers brought the basket to the families or to people who knew the families who could need the baskets.<br \/>\nI even had the chance to bring 3 baskets to a woman who knew families that need the support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The 5th annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade is entirely self funded and based on the support of friends, families and everyone who wants to help.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1954\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/lie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2013\/12\/2013-11-24_11.59.13.jpg\" alt=\"2013-11-24_11.59.13\" width=\"448\" height=\"285\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5th annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade, By Jessica Klose, au pair with Au Pair in America. &#8220;This basket of love and hope is for people in need.&#8221; On Sunday, November 24, 2013 a group of helpers spent their Sunday evening in Stony Brook to prepare baskets for people in need.
