A local non-profit is already thinking about Thanksgiving as we get into November. 

Mandi Ries with the Neighborhood Care Center in Clinton explains that they are busy during the Thanksgiving season. They give out Thanksgiving baskets to their partners in hopes of blessing their holiday.

Ries notes many places will have a first come first serve list for who gets their Thanksgiving baskets, but the Neighborhood Care Center curates their list of recipients. 

This is a huge undertaking for the NCC, and Ries says they begin planning and collecting resources in August to prepare for the holiday. She is grateful to the community businesses that assist them.
