Thanksgiving is all about sharing warmth, comfort and good food. As part of our Season of Giving, we were thrilled to donate to Hospitality House, the Forgotten Soldier Program and Gold Country Senior Services, helping ensure more neighbors have a warm, nutritious meal to gather around. 🧡

Hard times don’t last, but the power of community does. If you’re feeling the effects of the shutdown, you’re not alone.

For extra help, local food organizations like the Interfaith Food Ministry are here, and if you can, support for them helps feed neighbors in need. We are stronger together. 💚🌱
