PAAIA Names Thanksgiving Holiday Week Persian Thanks

Persian Thanks is a new PAAIA program that embraces American culture Persian style; it is also PAAIA’s name for the Thanksgiving Holiday week. Starting in 2010, we are mobilizing PAAIA Chapters nationwide to take Persian food to homeless shelters on Thanksgiving Day–or on any day during the “Persian Thanks” week–and hope this will become an Iranian American tradition. It is our way of showing that we are grateful to have a home away from our homeland, that we care about the less fortunate among us, and that we want to share a delicious part of our cultural heritage with our fellow Americans.
