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.
