There is much to be grateful for and one way we can express that is to give a bit to those who are less well off.

Most years, I’ve managed to find some place to volunteer at on Thanksgiving.

A few years ago, I had the chance to participate with Pasadena Union Station. Check out their web page to see what kind of help they will be needing.

In the last few years, I’ve participated at Faith in Christ Ministries. They serve about 700 meals. It is not as well known as some of the bigger operations… it doesn’t even have a web page to describe the Thanksgiving event! … but the people who are helped are happy to see the cheerful volunteers and to enjoy a good meal.

I hope to make it out there again this year but I’ve had some recent health issues. But if I’m feeling well enough, I’ll head out there.

To find some volunteer opportunities for Thanksgiving and for the rest of the year, check out LA Works.

I’m sure there are many events throughout the Los Angeles area. Would love to hear about them!
