My Mom lives in a very small town (pop. 68), on Thanksgiving we rent the community center and not only serve our family but invite the entire community she lives in, in the past we've also invited the soldiers from my brothers base who have no where to go for the day or can't (they are all deployed right now.) Many of the people in this rural area have families far away and would otherwise spend the day alone. If the people are home-bound we deliver the meals to them. Nothing makes you feel more grateful for your life than seeing the look of appreciation on someone's face when you show up with Thanksgiving Dinner!
