Give Thanks, Give Back: The Importance of Donating This Thanksgiving Season
Thanksgiving is for families and friends to come together to spend time with each other and to give thanks over a big meal. Unfortunately, some families can feel like they are being left out when they can’t afford to buy the food necessary for a Thanksgiving meal. This is where food pantries like The Community Center of St. Bernard, churches, charities, organizations, and individuals alike come together to make sure impoverished people within our community are able to eat during this special time of the year.
