Nov. 20. Many people are fortunate enough to be able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday weekend sitting around the table to give thanks over a spread of turkey, stuffing, mac and cheese and apple pie.
Others could use some help to make their holiday a special day, so in the spirit of giving we compiled a small list of local organizations seeking donations and volunteers this holiday season.
