To Give is to Receive
Thanksgiving is a time to Give Thanks
This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for those who can give during the holiday season, whether it be a monetary donation or a helping hand. We are also thankful for those who are on the receiving end of donations, meals, and food during the holidays. Let us take a moment to appreciate and acknowledge the kindness of those who are making others’ lives a little bit brighter during this season of giving.
