Making sure every family has a Thanksgiving meal

Thanksgiving is a time many of us indulge in the most American of holiday rituals: Excessive consumption. Meanwhile, some families don't have enough food to keep themselves alive and well from day to day. You don't necessarily have to feel guilty about your own holiday celebration — you just need to take some time to donate to those less fortunate than yourself. The Caring Pantry in Kennedy Heights is processing higher and higher numbers of requests for Thanksgiving baskets, meaning donations are more necessary than ever.
