“Hey neighbors! I’m around for Thanksgiving but family is far far away. That being said, I wouldn’t mind helping out those who need some help. So if you know a family, person or organization (charity, nursing home, etc) that could use some help this Thanksgiving (food being purchased, food prepared, someone to eat with, someone to clean up the mess) please shoot me a message with your idea or person you know who could use some help. Thanks!”
