Nonprofit Tweets of the Week – November 27, 2014

Thanksgiving in the palm of your hand
The truest indication of gratitude is to return what you are grateful for. -Richard Paul Evans

We have so much to be thankful for. But Thanksgiving also reminds us of the courageous efforts of those who worked and fought to give us so many of those things for which we are grateful and often take for granted. Let’s honor and build on their work today and everyday.
