This year, we are thankful for YOU, volunteers!

The need is especially great this Thanksgiving. Superstorm Sandy has displaced thousands who may not have a turkey in their freezers or even a dinner table or home, and the economy continues to take a toll on families nationwide.

So if your Thanksgiving traditions are made up of a secret family recipes, football, loose-waisted sweatpants and hopefully -- add the most important tradition of all into the mix -- giving.

Whether it's serving a meal at a local soup kitchen, adopting a pet or helping a family in need, we'd love to see you in action. Check out some Thanksgiving volunteer photos below and click to submit your own.
