Get in the spirit of giving at one of these Sacramento philanthropic events.
'Tis the season to be thankful! With Thanksgiving a little more than a week away, it's time to start thinking of ways to show your appreciation and give back to the community. Sacramento365.com has handpicked five charitable events -- and nearby places to eat and drink -- that are not only fun, but also support great causes. Of course, you can find even more altruistic outings on Sacramento365.com's Holiday Events page.

Get ready to rock...and support Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services! Help feed a family in need by making a Butterball donation at this KISS Tribute concert.

Have a 'can'-do attitude the day after Thanksgiving! With a non-perishable food donation, you can unwind with the kids at the amusement park for free.
