Beyond Thanksgiving

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Winston Churchill

Tis the season for being grateful, counting our blessings, and giving back, but what about the rest of the year?

Advantage President & CEO Jon Hodge remembers going to the food bank years ago around Thanksgiving to teach his then-young children about the joys of volunteering and community service. “We don’t really need you now,” they were told. “We need you in June.”

So they marked their calendars and began a family tradition of also intentionally giving back in the off-season, when typical donations and volunteerism tend to fall short of what’s needed. Here are some ways to serve your community year-round.

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday we’ll be celebrating in the U.S. on Thursday and the worldwide season of peace and goodwill that follows, we’d like to express our gratitude to you

Thank you for allowing us to keep in touch. You are among the blessings in our hearts this week and always.
