Giving and Thanks

Giving and Thanks

Thankfulness is a form of recognition, so it’s no surprise that Thanksgiving is one of our staff’s favorite holidays!

 

Create a Thankful Atmosphere: Take a moment to say what you are thankful for. (Tip: This doesn’t have to be a practice just for thanksgiving day, try thinking of something every day that you are thankful for!)

Be a Helping Hand: Thanksgiving is not only a time to feast, but also a time to give. There are plenty of ways you can help someone in need this Thanksgiving. Try inviting a friend who is far from home to your holiday meal, volunteering at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter, donating to a foodbank or even just helping set the table.

 

Participate in #GivingTuesday: After giving thanks on Thursday, give back on Tuesday. Join the #BigBendGivesBack movement and make an impact on our community on Tuesday, November 29. It doesn’t matter how you give -- you can donate, volunteer or share your talent. Check out the list of 300 nonprofits in the Big Bend and find ways to get involved at bigbendgivesback.org.
