Traditionally, this holiday is a time when Americans celebrate the blessings of the harvest. Nowadays, people tend to reflect more generally on their personal good fortune and, if they have the means, look for ways to give back to the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting together with some classmates for&nbsp;<strong>Friendsgiving<\/strong>&nbsp;this year? Why not&nbsp;<strong>start with the heart<\/strong>&nbsp;and volunteer together, or donate to a charity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re stuck for ideas, we\u2019ve created a list of ways you can give back this Thanksgiving. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Volunteer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community volunteering is something everyone can do to&nbsp;<strong>reach further<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>have each other\u2019s backs&nbsp;<\/strong>this Thanksgiving. Whether you\u2019re reading to the elderly or handing out hot soup at your local kitchen, your efforts can make a big difference in people\u2019s lives and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/spreadjoy\">spread joy<\/a>. Volunteering is also a great way to meet new people while building up your resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re low on time, consider donating directly to one of your local organizations, or to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteermatch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VolunteerMatch<\/a>, which helps charities around the world connect with volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Help your local shelter stock up on essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re strapped for cash but still want to give back, make like Marie Kondo and go through your closet. Chances are there are a few items you just don\u2019t wear anymore that someone at your local shelter might benefit from. Other in-demand items at shelters include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Socks (this is a big one!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand sanitizer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tampons, pads, and other period care products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blankets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toothbrushes &amp; toothpaste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Donate to a charity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give back to an organization of your choice this Thanksgiving. If you don\u2019t have a favorite charity, here\u2019s a few we\u2019d like to highlight this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wck.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Central Kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">World Central Kitchen is a global organization that provides meals to communities struggling in the wake of natural disasters and other humanitarian crises. Just this year, they\u2019ve provided the comfort of home-cooked food to survivors of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, the Kinkade Fire in Sonoma County, California, Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, the ongoing Venezuela crisis, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/collegefund.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The American Indian College Fund (AICF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the American Indian College Fund, just 14 percent of American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AIAN) hold a college degree. The AICF is dedicated to helping AIAN pursue higher education by providing all the essential resources for successfully pursuing an education. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shfb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Second Harvest of Silicon Valley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech\u2019s booming in Silicon Valley, with major consequences for the local economy. Second Harvest is a charity that\u2019s been set up to help people who have been negatively impacted by the growing cost of living in the area. Did you know that 1 in every 10 people in Silicon Valley receives food from Second Harvest? Consider donating today to help them out. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Give blood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some might consider this an unusual Friendsgiving activity, but there\u2019s never a bad time to give blood. Someone needs blood every two seconds in the US, but only 3 percent of Americans donate each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find a blood drive near you by visiting the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcrossblood.org\/give.html\/find-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Red Cross<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Do you have plans to make a positive impact on the world this Thanksgiving?
