GIVING THANKS FOR YOU! We gather this day to give thanks. Some gather with family or friends. Others feel the absence or loss of loved ones. Many are on duty, in hospitals, at work or at home alone by choice or not. No matter with whom we dine today we gather collectively as a nation to say thanks. On the web there are debates about the number of countries actually celebrating Thanksgiving. The title might change but several other countries and groups celebrate special days of thanks: thanks for family, friends, security, education and many freedoms. Thanks for harvest, health and hope. Thanks for the blessings we have already received. Thanks for the people who have shared and fostered those blessings. At Sowing Seeds we add extra thanks for our volunteers, our leaders, our supporters, our donors, our community and our clients. We learn much from each of you. Youve taught us about compassion, empathy, generosity, fortitude, resilience, faith, hope, courage and love. We are blessed to live in a caring community with so many individuals, families and organizations partnering with us to serve the many individuals and families struggling in our own town. While none of our work would get accomplished without our volunteers contributions of invaluable time, talent and services, we also wouldnt be able to serve as we do without the generous support of our community. Since we focus our time on our clients needs we dont overtly fundraise. To that end, a spirited, caring group of extraordinary people banded together to help support us: The Friends of Sowing Seeds. Although some of the Friends are also Sowing Seeds volunteers many are not direct volunteers. Independently, theyve chosen to give their energy and talents to raise funds for us. To those invaluable Friends we also offer heartfelt gratitude for all your efforts resulting in greater awareness and funding for the critical services we offer our neighbors. Thank you. The requests for Sowing Seeds services continue to rise. Our good neighbors at the Marshfield Food Pantry have noticed the same alarming trend. We are grateful to each of you who in your own way contributes to the well-being of your family, friends, neighbors and community. We wish you warm memories of Thanksgivings past, joy, good health and comfort in your present celebration, and fulfilled dreams for your future Thanksgivings. Thanks for sharing a part of your lives with ours.
