On this occasion you can involve yourself with your family in donating time, food or money in the community.

It’s a great opportunity to teach your kids about spreading kindness and be thankful during the holiday season.

Create Festive Decoration

You can make Thanksgiving centerpieces, napkin rings, door decorations and any other creative festive pieces of your choice with your family and kids.

Donate To a Favorite Charity

You can donate your time, money or any needed items to a favorite charity from Goodwill to a non-profit tutoring program.

Teach Manners

“Thank You”, these two words can make any one happy.

So always teach your kids to say “Thank You” for small things during the day, like - if someone holds a door for them.
