I volunteered at a meals on wheels on Thanksgiving, and helped pack up 250-ish Thanksgiving dinners. It was great to see how much the community helped people in need, but that was just the beginning. After helping there, I went to the Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the Bethany Church, also sponsored by the Washington County Youth Service Bureau, that served another 200+ people.
At the dinner, I sat at a table decorated by middle school kids. There were three cards from kids in a class, and place mats with turkey hands, of course. One of the cards was signed "Your friend, Hunter (I'm a girl)," another said, "I hope this is your best Thanksgiving this year. Actually, I know it will be!"
One thing that's really struck me about this area is that the community really does come together to take care of people. They have winter coat give aways, free weatherization seminars, amazing soup kitchens... So much good stuff! I wish people got together like this everywhere.
