"Thanksgiving should never be a reminder of what someone cannot afford. It should be a reminder that someone cares. We may not be able to change every circumstance a family is facing, but we can make sure they know they are not forgotten. One meal can bring comfort, restore hope, and remind someone that they matter. My vision is that no family in our community has to face Thanksgiving without a meal or the feeling that someone cares. Together, through compassion, service, and community support, we can make a difference one household at a time."
