More than 10 years, Anne-Marie Williams who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, cooked and fed the homeless in East Flatbush, New York on Thanksgiving -just using her kitchen.
When Williams started back in 2001, she wanted to teach her grand children to be grateful for what they had. Even though Williams is not wealthy, she believes that she had enough to give back to those less fortunate.
She said,
“We are not celebrating Thanksgiving, we are going to cook and go on the streets and feed the people on the streets'”
