Knoxville — As you spend time Thursday with friends and family, remember another reason for celebrating Thanksgiving -- it's a chance to help others.
Thousands will look for ways to volunteer at soup kitchens or food banks. Many organizations need help Thursday -- and every day -- as they provide services through the year.
Organizations want to remind you that charities are open year-round.
Here are some ways you can give back:
*Several clothing drives are happening around town.
*KARM, Good Will and the Salvation Army are always asking for donations.
*And don't forget, Giving Tuesday is next week! It's a global-giving campaign where thousands around the world donate to special organizations.
