A very fun and involved career opportunity activity. It really opened up their eyes to how difficult it can be to plan and budget for Thanksgiving. They were also shocked at how expensive the meal was and led to a great discussion about the cost of living and that we need to be grateful for what we have and give grace to those who might need help around the holidays. Recommend!
