“As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, I want to extend my warmest wishes to everyone across Westchester County. This holiday gives us a moment to pause and truly appreciate the people and experiences that bring meaning to our lives. It is easy to get swept up in the pressures and challenges that come throughout the year, but Thanksgiving reminds us to look around the table and recognize the blessings we sometimes overlook.
“Here in Westchester, we’re home to residents who give so much of themselves during this time to make our neighborhoods stronger and more compassionate. I see it in the work of our faith leaders, our nonprofit partners, County employees, our educators, our local businesses and the many volunteers who give their time without being asked. Their dedication is a reminder that even in difficult times, we are surrounded by people who care deeply about their neighbors. May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, warmth and quality time with your loved ones.”
