Tell Horizon Goodwill What You’re Thankful For This Thanksgiving
In honor of Thanksgiving, we thought it would be nice to reflect on what our community members are thankful for. We asked a variety of friends, neighbors, co-workers and even managed to provide some inspirational words from historical figures as to what gratitude really means. We would love to hear what you are thankful for as well. Please feel free to post to our Facebook page or respond in the comments section below.
