Dear all, on the bird a lot of good things happened that we should not forget just because of all the other issues. One of them was combatting loneliness. Not everyone has a home to come back to or is welcomed back. Some celebrate a last Season together, some start the first alone #JoinIn

Some have no dinners as we plan. We used the hashtag #JoinIn to alert others someone could use company. Not just with Thanksgiving but also with Christmas and New Years. So, I am starting #JoinIn here and hope that you all will chat with those who could use a kind word.

We are mostly strangers to each other here. But above all, we are human. And one of the worst things for humans is to be alone. If you can @cbouzy please help spread the word.

Love and hugs to all #JoinIn

Here's an idea I heard about. People who are hosting Holiday parties/gatherings are asking guests to bring a non-perishable food item with them that will be donated to the local food pantry to help those in need at this time of year.
In response to Alice.

True, but people also need online support. Loneliness is irrespective of hunger.

True. Loneliness doesn't necessarily mean being alone, it's meaningful contact.
