Celebrations: How you can help
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT Food, shelter and clothing are life’s basic necessities, but too many Sonoma County residents lack access to them. At a time when we gather to give thanks for our blessings, leaders of local nonprofits share their missions and ways we can help them provide hot meals, warm blankets, indoor beds and a helping hand when people most need one.

While many families across Sonoma County sit down to lavish Thanksgiving feasts today, others will be struggling just to put food on their tables.
At the Redwood Empire Food Bank, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of its busiest season. The organization feeds 82,000 Sonoma County residents year round, said David Goodman, the executive director.
