For many, Thanksgiving is all about appreciating the good things in our lives. \u00a0For others it’s about food and football. \u00a0It can also mark the beginning of the season of giving. \u00a0Here at Parts Town, we’ve taken that last part to heart.<\/p>\n

The spirit of giving comes from the top, and Parts Town’s leadership sets a great example. \u00a0It began with the team member\u00a0appreciation turkey giveaway. \u00a0In appreciation for the hard work done all year, each team member\u00a0was given a Thanksgiving turkey.\u00a0Those who chose to do so could donate their turkey to the Addison Township Food Pantry<\/a> to be given out to those\u00a0in need of food.<\/p>\n

Many of our male team members are giving back in a different way: \u00a0growing out their facial hair. \u00a0The month of November is Men’s Health Awareness Month. \u00a0Nicknamed Movember, it\u2019s all about growing your MO (mustache) and supporting Men\u2019s health. \u00a0Team members growing out their mustache are entered into a competition to raise money for The Movember Foundation.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Each contestant gets a collection bucket for their colleagues to donate money into. All change counts as a positive for their scoring total, and all bills\u00a0count as a negative, but all of the money raised goes to\u00a0the charity. \u00a0For example, if\u00a0somebody puts $.50 into Ron’s\u00a0collection bucket and then somebody else throws in a $1.00 bill, Ron\u00a0is negative $.50 but has raised a total of $1.50 for charity. \u00a0Bragging rights and a mustache trophy go to the victor, and all the money used to vote (positively and negatively) goes to charity.<\/p>\n

Parts Town is also supporting Shelter Inc<\/a> in buying Christmas gifts for children in and out of the foster system, helping to add a little bit of extra joy and happiness this holiday season. \u00a0A Christmas tree was set up early in the month filled with ornaments with clothing and or toy items for these needy children. \u00a0Just after Thanksgiving, Shelter Inc will pick up all the presents donated and prepare them for Christmas.<\/p>\n

From all of us at Parts Town, we wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.
