Here are 7 ways you can team up to give back this holiday season:

Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition – turkey, parades, and football are a few obvious choices that come to mind. Personally, I tend to recall memories of me being perpetually banished to the disdained “kiddie table”… well into my twenties.
