President Obama volunteers at Martha's Table

Dear Community Volunteer,

Last year on Thanksgiving President Obama said, "We're grateful for the thousands of Americans who serve their communities – in soup kitchens and in shelters – looking out for those who are less fortunate and lifting up those who have fallen on hard times. This generosity, this compassion, this belief that we are each other's keepers, is essential not just on this day but every day."

Whether you volunteer at a food bank, help those recovering from a disaster, or reach out to a military family, there are many ways to serve your community—and we want to hear about yours.

Find us on Facebook to share how you are giving to others on Thanksgiving and throughout the year. 

If you are looking for an opportunity, visit  Serve.gov to find one near you or get ideas for projects you can start on your own.

As we gather with loved ones tomorrow, let us count our blessings and commit to sharing those blessings with others in need, on Thanksgiving and throughout the year.

Add your name right now

I've been a Democrat for a long time now, Diane, and I can tell you that our party is in as strong of a position going into this election as I've ever seen.

Together, we've built a legacy that Democrats should be proud to defend and even prouder to run on. And I'll give you my word as a Biden that Democrats can win if we run on our record.

But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy, Diane. We still have a lot of good, hard work to do over these next 12 months -- and trust me, Diane, that time will go by faster than you think.

Look, Diane, there's too much at stake for any of us to not be as committed as ever.

So if you're still in this fight with me, add your name right now:

http://my.democrats.org/With-Me

As always, Diane, I just can't thank you enough.

Joe

WATCH: President Obama on OFA's work

Organizing for Action
Diane --

Here's what President Obama told a room full of OFA organizers at OFA's Fall Summit last week:

When the cynics tell us we can't change this country for the better, we know they're wrong. We've got proof.
Diane, the energy in that room was electric, and we all left fired up and ready to take on the big issues coming up. Make sure you watch the President's full remarks:

Thanks -- hope you're fired up too,
