  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.   |
