It’s starting to get cold as November is quickly passing us by. Leaves are finally falling and the temps are dropping to freezing at night. Which also means Thanksgiving is only days away. As people are preparing for family and friends get-to-togethers to celebrate. But many forget that there are less fortunate people going without. People who are stressing the holiday and feeling left out as well. This is the time to not only be thankful for what we have. But to think of others who are not as blessed that struggle. This is the time to give to those in need. To think of the people that have these needs, not wants. From the people we know to the people we don’t know that live in our cities and towns. Thanksgiving is so much more then meeting up with our loved ones and eating. Thanksgiving is about helping each other and giving what we can to make this holiday special for everyone. I’m talking about the people that are homeless, the people that don’t have a kitchen table or family. The people on the street corners. The poor souls living in tents we call the homeless. And there are so many more homeless this Thanksgiving then ever before.
