“If you really are thankful, what do you do? You share.” ― W. Clement Stone

Thanksgiving is this Thursday; a time for family, friends, good food, and reflection on the things we are most grateful for in our lives. In that spirit of thankfulness and fellowship, we were inspired this week to find and share ways we could give back. Whether it is donating food to the less fortunate, helping to make students’ education more fulfilling, or simply thanking those who serve you, these are just a few of the countless organizations working to make life better and more joyful for others.
