Senior Turkey Distribution |
|
Gobble Gobble, did someone say Turkey!
Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude, but nothing brings us more joy than sharing a thanksgiving turkey with the family. Today, at 9 am, the City of Plainfield held its annual Senior Turkey Distribution.
Mayor Mapp and members of his administration were joined by Council Vice President & Councilman at Large for First and Fourth Wards Barry Goode, Third Ward Councilman Charles McRae, and Councilwoman at Large for Second and Third Wards Joylette Mills-Ransome at Plainfield Senior Center, where over 600 turkeys were packaged and distributed. Seniors who reside in Cedarbrook Apartments. Richmond Towers, Covenant Manor, Tower West, and Bella Vita will enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving turkey.
"Plainfield seniors are the foundation of our community, and it is important to me that our seniors are taken care of, especially at this time of year," said Mayor Adrian O. Mapp, " In addition, special thanks goes out to the Plainfield Senior Center for managing the event and to Plainfield's Department of Public Works for their help in distributing the turkeys."

Mental health illness is not a “made-up” sickness that exists only in the mind. Nor is it something that an individual can banish with sheer willpower; It is a medical condition. Mental Health Illness, like all other medical conditions, requires proper medical care and treatment.
If you feel or suspect you are suffering from a mental health issue, depression, or are having trouble operating on a day-to-day basis, please contact the Mental Health Association of New Jersey. You can call or text 973-571-4100 or speak to someone in person at 673 Morris Avenue Suite 100 Springfield,New Jersey.

NOVEMBER is Men's Health Awareness Month |
|
Men's Health awareness takes center stage during November, and it's an opportune time to take stock of how the men in our community prioritize their health. Despite the heightened awareness of critical health issues that affect males, many still ignore warning signs and carry on silently without reaching out for help or taking the time to address what is most important.
- Mayor Adrian O. Mapp
Here are a few statistics by the CDC:
- Die 3.7 years earlier than women, on average
