Waterbury, CT– The Mac & Cheese Mondays Thanksgiving Giveaway is officially underway on the Green, and community turnout is already strong as residents line up for warm meals, hygiene kits, and winter essentials.

Waterbury Community Events- Things to do in Waterbury

Hosted directly across from the YMCA, today’s event runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, offering:

• Free hot mac & cheese
• Hygiene kits
• Hats, gloves & warming supplies
• Community resource information
• Support from local agencies and volunteers

This week’s special Thanksgiving edition is made possible through the support of Stallworth Counseling and Southern Tree, two organizations committed to lifting up Waterbury families during the colder months.

Early photos from the Green show volunteers setting up tables, handing out meals, and greeting residents — another sign that Mac & Cheese Mondays is quickly becoming one of the city’s most consistent grassroots support events.
