It is a vast understatement to say 2020 has been a challenging year, full of unprecedented twists and turns that continue to test the full breadth of our experience and our endurance – hope and hopelessness, deep tragedies and long-awaited victories. In the spirit of the holiday season, we choose this moment to pause, reflect on what we have to be thankful for, and the many ways we can give back to those less fortunate. Below is just a handful of the many opportunities available. If you know of others, please feel free to send them to newstips@cupertinotoday.com. We’ll keep updating this story all season long.
