7 Ways to Volunteer This Thanksgiving and Help Your Community

These facilities are often in need of volunteers to not only cook and serve the meals, but also collect the food and ensure there is enough to go around. Setting up the service area, greeting and seating visitors, and cleaning up afterward are also ways you can contribute. To search for these types of opportunities, call your local Salvation Army or visit VolunteerMatch. You can also check Craigslist or reach out to local churches in your area.
