Giving Back: Thanksgiving Donations and Volunteer Opportunity

  It’s that time of year again. Thanksgiving is one of the most beloved holidays of all.  According to CNN.com, Thanksgiving is America’s second favorite holiday after Christmas. Thanksgiving is a great time to entertain with friends and family, and it’s also a time to think about giving back to those less fortunate.
