Neinstein Meals on Wheels Chess Tournament Benefit
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the way that some people get their meals. Families are delivering groceries to loved ones, but some vulnerable populations rely on external support systems for their meals. Support a great cause by joining us on Feb 18th for a Chess Tournament in Support of Meals on Wheels.
