The spirit of Thanksgiving continued to spread across the Bronx this weekend with the second annual Foliage and Fun Celebration in Edgewater.

The celebration honors veterans and fundraises to provide needy veterans with meals throughout the holiday season.

Organizers say the event is a way to show their own gratitude and to encourage the community to give thanks to the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our country.

They say it’s also an opportunity for veterans to meet others in the community and learn about resources available to them.
