I started searching for Black Friday deals and random local free Thanksgiving events, when what I really want to share is ways we can help each other. I’m beyond grateful for so many things – like a nice, new roof over my head, organic produce at the farmer’s market that I can afford and my ‘made out of recycled materials’ Nau coat, just to name a few – that I’ve made it my goal for the last few years to help others whenever I can. Hopefully, if Seattle Animal Shelter gets back to me, I’ll be starting my first doggie walk on Thanksgiving Day. What will you be doing? If you’re not sure, but know you want to help, Yay-Today has put together a list just for you.
