We see first hand that many Seniors in our community may not be blessed to have family close by or live on a very tight budget.
9News put together a great list of organizations and groups across the state who are coming together to offer the homeless, and people in need, a free Thanksgiving meal this holiday - including the turkey and all the fixins'.
While many families will be home preparing a holiday feast to enjoy this Thanksgiving, thousands and thousands of people across Colorado are not fortunate enough to be able to do the same.
