Opportunities for giving are all around us. Giving and charity are not just limited to financial gifts. Our time and talents can be gifted as well.
A local service my mom benefited from was the Meals-on-Wheels program through our senior community center. Not only does this non-profit organization need financial support, but it also functions virtually solely on its volunteers.
My daughter and I are quite frequently called upon to take a route to deliver meals for the week, and whenever our schedule allows, we say, "YES!"
I know how much the hot, nutritious meals meant to Mom, so it does my heart good to help with this service. I am very thankful so many communities provide for those that can't get out to get a meal or prepare food on their own.
On this day of Thanksgiving, may we all be thankful for charity whether giving or receiving.
