Surprisingly, finding ways to give back with kids isn't always as easy as you'd think. Many charitable organizations have age minimums for their projects, and family-friendly volunteering opportunities often book up weeks in advance. (Which, of course, is a good sign—better to have too many people interested in volunteering than not enough.) With Thanksgiving approaching, we wanted to highlight where to volunteer on Thanksgiving in NYC. We're including opportunities for children of all ages so everyone can participate. While kids might not be able to work in a soup kitchen, they can help the homeless, hungry, and elderly in other meaningful ways. Read on for a list of family-friendly ways to put the "giving" in your Thanksgiving, and beyond. Bookmark our [NYC Kids' Guide to Thanksgiving]( for more ways to celebrate.
