Thanksgiving: Our Daily Practice at The Drop Collaborative

At The Drop Collaborative, we believe Thanksgiving isn’t a date on the calendar — it’s a way of life. Our mission of educating, providing, growing, giving back, and mentoring was built on trust — trust from our supporters, sponsors, teachers, students, and community. Isn’t that what Thanksgiving truly is? A shared state of grace.
