Readers Write: Thanksgiving is time to help others

The Island Now

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and it is time to reflect upon all we have and counting our blessings. 

There is much for us to be thankful for: family, friends, neighbors, and much good cheer. It is also a time for us to think of our less fortunate like our homeless, elderly, and poor New Yorkers who have lost so much in their lives. 

These have so little to be thankful for this year. Let’s therefore give to those who are in such great need. 

Remember what Thanksgiving is all about – caring, giving, and sharing with those that have so little. 

So please give to our local food kitchens, local community organizations and your houses of worship that distribute to those in need. Now in giving you can truly have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
