Happiness and cheer
During the holidays we think about food, festivities, and good cheer. And while it’s lovely to spend time with friends and family around the table, many struggle with how to put food on the table.
A HELPING HAND – On Christmas Eve, Good Plates Eatery will give away holiday meals at no charge.
Many organizations help people pull the ingredients together for holiday dishes. But Andrew and Jamie Schlanser, owners of Good Plates Eatery in Clifton, continue their efforts this holiday season to feed the community on Thanksgiving and Christmas. At their restaurant, they give away a full meal to those who need one.

“We’re in our third season of holiday meal giveaways and we are so lucky to be in a position where we can do things like this,” the Schlansers explain. “We couldn’t do it without friends, neighbors, and community members that donate so much and we are proud to keep this tradition going for years.”
“No questions, no reasons needed. Just come in and tell us how many meals you need and we’ll hand you back a bag with however many!” the Schlansers said. During pickup, guests are invited to enjoy hot cocoa, coffee, and a snack.
