With only 7 days to go till Thanksgiving there has been a trend in campaigns geared towards giving, eating and doing good. Quintessentially an American holiday, the last Thursday of November, no matter the nationality signals a time in America where families, strangers and diverse communities join in one delicious meal and a reminder that there's much to be thankful for.
We’ve uncovered three campaigns currently running on IndieGoGo that are looking to celebrate this special holiday in their own way:
