How to Give Thanks & Give Back to Your Community

How to Give Thanks & Give Back to Your Community

by Proforma Construction Inc, November 14, 2016

This Thanksgiving Day, you can give back to the community in small but impactful ways.

Giving back to the community is something many people often overlook but is something that is tremendously important to do. The community provides us with the safety and quality of life to which we have become accustomed. Because it gives us so much of what we have, it is only fitting that we return the favor at least once a year, and what better day to do it on than on Thanksgiving Day? If you don’t know how you can give back to your community, try out these wonderful suggestions that could make the world just a little bit better.

Community Tips

Donate Food

For you, Thanksgiving Day may mean a giant feast for you and your family. So much food, in fact, that you could even have leftovers for days. For thousands of underprivileged American families, Thanksgiving Day is just another day because they cannot afford the luxury of splurging on extra food. Donate your nonperishables to your local food shelter to give families the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Share Your Family

You may know of an individual (neighbor, coworker, friend, classmate) who has no plan for Thanksgiving due to familial distance, or other personal reasons. It may also be that they are foreign to the U.S. and have never celebrated Thanksgiving. You can invite them over to your Thanksgiving celebration to give them the Thanksgiving they deserve.

We at Proforma Construction hope you are able to make a lasting impact on your community which has already given you so much.
