The Saturday Thanksgiving pantry is in memory of Silvina Estrela who passed away on September 23, 2022. Silvina was best known by her family as their matriarch who was wise, gentle, told the best stories and always offered whatever food she had in the house (and a cup of tea!) to anyone who sat at her table. Some may remember her as Mrs. Estrela who taught preschool at Silvia School in Fall River for decades too! Silvina also happens to be the godmother (Madrinha) of one of our board members, Melissa Dawson. Prior to passing in September, Silvina spoke to Melissa about how she worried about those without food and asked Melissa to feed them on her behalf. We know she is smiling down and proud of what her family was able to do together to help others.
