during this time of Thanksgiving, lets remember those who are less fortunate then ourselves.

I know for many if you, Thanksgiving, we will be spending time with our friends and family, eating turkey, and being thankful for everything that we have. But what about those that don't have enough for food, clothing or any of the other basic necessities that many of us take for granted? With the economy the way it is, there are many going with out this year. Do I get food, gas for the car, medicine?
I, for one am grateful for everything that I have. I have learned a lot threw my many volunteer jobs that I have. Seeing the sense of togetherness and pride that I saw in Jamaica. And also seeing many of my friends, family and different organizations like school and church, pull together when asked. It is so amazing to see all the love out there.
There my work at Alley Shop, I have learned that many of these people get there food threw the food shelf. A lot of the food donated are canned goods. Since many of these people don't have much money, they cant afford simple things like can openers, and many times, use sharp knifes to open them.
So in this time of Thanksgiving, I hope all of you will find it in your hearts to give of your time, talents, or money to different organizations this season. And not just during this time, but all year long too. Poverty doesn't take time off.
