Giving back for Thanksgiving

We are only one week away from Thanksgiving! Below are some lovely ideas-from giving your time to donating your money- for how to give back to others this year.

Volunteers are needed to help organize and sort food at Alexandria's 33rd Annual Turkey Trot at 8:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning, November 27. Runners register for the race around 8:30 a.m., bringing canned food donations for ALIVE!'s food pantry as their entry fee. Please come and help make Thanksgiving a blessing for others!
