Give a meal: Make the gift of a meal a part of your Thanksgiving tradition

In less than a week, we will all sit around our respective tables and enjoy a meal complete with turkey and pumpkin pie.

We might even pause to think about the reasons why we are so grateful this year and to appreciate the chance we have to be with the people we love.

But for many families around Wayne County, Thanksgiving is just another day of hunger.

As you make the plans for your family's big holiday feast this year, please take the time to remember those in need.

Make it a part of your family tradition to provide the makings for a simple meal if you can -- or one of the components if your budget is a little tight this year -- for a needy family.

You will help brighten someone else's holiday and yours as well.
