For most families,
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and give thanks for their health, life,
friends, and family. Busy schedules can make it easy to forget about all we
have to be grateful for in our lives. We
must take a moment to remind ourselves of those struggling without a job, good
health, or a stable community and give
back to those in need. Here are a three
ways you can help those less fortunate this thanksgiving:
1.
Donate a Turkey.
Visit Thanksgiving For All to
send a turkey to hungry families in need who would otherwise not have a
Thanksgiving day meal.
2.
Walk for
a cause in a charity Turkey Trot. Stay fit this Thanksgiving by
participating in a charity run. Make it memorable with customized t-shirts or
hats for the group. Turkey Trot proceeds typically go to your local food bank
or charity so it’s a great way to support the community. Find a Turkey Trot in
your area at http://www.active.com/running/turkeytrot
.
3.
Visit
hospital patients. For sick patients who don’t have family nearby to visit
them, Thanksgiving can be a sad and lonely day. Call your local hospital to
find out if there are any patients who would like a visitor. Bring them a gift
instead of food; most hospitals have a strict food policy.
