Social Good & Giving Back
Have you and your family ever considered giving back for Thanksgiving? For years, my family would work at a soup kitchen or local food donation pantry during the day on Thanksgiving and then head home for dinner. They always needed the extra hands and honestly the work felt good. There are many things that you can do together as a family and this is the first time we have had this in our Ultimate Thanksgiving Planning Guide.
The Family Dinner Project (FDP) is a grassroots movement that champions family dinner as an opportunity to have food, fun, and conversation about things that matter. In partnership with Giving Tuesday, FDP has created a Thanksgiving toolkit including free tips, tools, infographics, and printables to help families have conversations about how to give on Giving Tuesday and beyond.
