Thresholds' yearly communal Thanksgiving dinners were canceled because of COVID-19 restrictions.

\"Emily's donation is an incredible example of the generosity and creativity that the pandemic has inspired in so many,\" said Mark Ishaug, CEO of Thresholds. \"I know that Emily's act of kindness will inspire others to do the same and build love and connection in a difficult time, in any way we can.\"

\"Thresholds is so grateful for our staff, like Emily, who are so dedicated to their work serving those with mental illnesses,\" he added.

Thresholds staff boxed the meals with caterers, and then Thresholds staff delivered the meals to clients' homes ahead of the holiday.
