STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are set to travel to U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York on Monday afternoon to celebrate a Friendsgiving dinner with service members and military families. The event is part of the first lady’s Joining Forces initiative, which supports military families.

The dinner, hosted by the Robert Irvine Foundation, will feature a Thanksgiving meal prepared by Chef Robert Irvine and his team. The Bidens plan to thank service members and their families for their contributions and will assist in serving the meal during the event.
