The season of gratitude has arrived — a time to gather, give and reflect on what truly matters.

This month, we’re spotlighting generosity in action: Meet the inspiring team behind a local nonprofit that’s fixing homes and lifting spirits for single moms and widows across our community. Then, find your own way to give — explore our local gift guide for meaningful finds or start a new tradition that will set your kids up for the future.

We’re also turning our focus inward with expert tips on raising empathetic, grateful kids. And, as always, check out our November Play List for fun family outings before the holiday rush begins.
