    Thanksgiving will likely look different for many of us this year during the pandemic. I know many people that are starting new traditions, or trying to hang on to old ones with some changes. But, no matter what may be happening with our traditions this year, food will continue to be a central theme. Food connects people and draws us together, and will continue to do so even during this strange time. It may look a little different this Thanksgiving, such as dropping a meal off for a loved one and waving from the sidewalk, but it will continue to bind us to one another.
