While the holidays are about gathering together with your loved ones at the dinner table, that is not always possible. Oftentimes, people find themselves unable to go home to their family, or spend the holiday alone.One local meet-up group in San Francisco has been continuing a tradition at Dolores Park where strangers come together to celebrate a Friendsgiving Potluck.'I had a lot of students, a lot of foreign students who were here and they had a hard time during the holidays.
The event wasn't just for foreign exchange students but rather for anyone who may find themselves alone during the holidays.'I, unfortunately, am not going back home right now. And I did want to spend Thanksgiving with other people and get to meet other people,' Edwin Omorogbe-Akpata, who lives in San Francisco, told CBS News Bay Area. He moved to the Bay Area earlier this year for his engineering job.
