If a big family dinner is not on your calendar, or you simply want a meaningful way to give thanks this holiday season, you have many options.
Here are my
Top 5 Favorite Ideas for giving thanks to those in need this Thanksgiving or Christmas:
1. Join local San Francisco Top Chef Ryan Scott and Turkey Troops for a big Thanksgiving meal give-away to families in need. Donate your time, money or food. With the click of a PayPal button, $20 helps feed 12 people. Here's the link:

2. Donate groceries or your time to the
Glide Memorial Church, famous for reaching out to those in need. Visit their
website at
http://www.glide.org/HolidayVolunteerOpps.aspx or call 415.674.6080.
3. Ask family, friends or your local church if there are families in need for Thanksgiving/Christmas. Bring out your "inner Julia Child" by making them a feast they will always be thankful for. Of course, check out my recipes for ideas!
4. Donate food online with delivery service from your local supermarket. Here are some links to some chain stores throughout the U.S. who may deliver in your area:
Safeway
Trader Joe's (Manhattan delivery only)
Stop & Shop
Vons
Albertsons
D'Agostino (NYC)
Whole Foods (those lucky devils!)
5. Start your own local collection among neighbors, family and friends to give to the local
Food Bank or Salvation Army. While you're at it, it's a good time to give books and used clothing, shoes and coats for the winter.
What are some ways you like to give back during the holidays? Please share - I'd love to hear your inspiration.
