GIVE BACK THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

kellner_assembly_banner_nyreblog_com_.gifI want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. While this is a time to join together with friends and family to celebrate, it is also a time to give back.  Below you will find several different opportunities to help those less fortunate this holiday season. Whether it's donating a can of food or volunteering your time, I encourage everyone to find a way to add some cheer to someone else's life.
