LIVE THANKFULLY
Meet Alison. Alison is using FTI to help provide food for families in need for the holidays. Her organization, Live Thankfully, hosts an annual event where students from over 30 schools in the DFW area come together to distribute Thanksgiving meals and two bags of groceries to families chosen based on their financial, emotional and physical needs.
