Ursuline Academy students Kathleen Ryan '19, Olivia Ryan '20, and Madison Sanders '20 volunteered their time on Wednesday November 26 to help feed a Thanksgiving dinner to over 500 homeless and mentally disabled individuals. The event, in its eleventh year, is held annually at Florian Hall in Dorchester the day before Thanksgiving and is sponsored by Boston Firefighters Local 718 and Massport in conjunction with State Senator Linda Dorcena-Fory. The annual event was founded by Billy Higgins of South Boston, who has spent his life advocating for those in need. It provides guests a full turkey dinner with all the fixings, along with live entertainment provided by Bob Fowkes. In attendance was Governor-Elect Charlie Baker, State Senator Linda Dorcena-Fory, Boston Fire Commissioner Joseph Finn, and founder Billy Higgins.
