“During times of global turmoil, it is important to remember and reflect on
the gifts we share; that we, as Virginians, are blessed to call our great
Commonwealth and great country home. That there is more that unites us than
divides us. Thanksgiving also gives us the chance to reflect on how our
blessings can help those who are hungry, sick, or alone. Across the
Commonwealth, many Virginians will be volunteering their day off serving meals
at food banks and even welcoming strangers at their dinner tables. That is the
true spirit of this holiday, and even more, it is the Spirit of Virginia. So,
to all Virginians as we gather together as family, friends, and neighbors,
Happy Thanksgiving, and may God bless you,” Governor Glenn Youngkin

This week, Governor Youngkin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Kelly Gee, and
Chief Brown volunteered at Feed More, putting together meals for those without
a reliable source of food. Feed More needs more volunteers and donations. Join
the network of volunteers that not only deliver meals but also provide critical
safety checks on fellow Virginians. Every act of kindness goes a long way to
help.

This week, Governor Youngkin marked the 346th year of the 1677 Treaty of
Middle Plantation with the annual Tribute Ceremony, an acknowledgment of not
just the history of Virginia but its present and future. May we continue to
celebrate this partnership for years to come in our Commonwealth.

In tune with the spirit of Thanksgiving, First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin joined
Governor Glenn Youngkin in hosting the 2023 Governor’s Volunteerism and
Community Service Awards at the Executive Mansion to honor 11 recipients who
embody selflessness and generosity. The reception celebrated and acknowledged
the outstanding efforts of Virginia’s Volunteers who give thousands of hours of
service to their communities.

The First Lady also visited Petersburg, Virginia, to share words of
encouragement on the value and dignity of work at the Job and Resource Fair at
the Good Shepherd Baptist Church. Hosted by the Office of the Attorney General,
in partnership with the Petersburg Sheriff's Department, the event provided
opportunities for returning citizens to connect with 40 nonprofits and
employers to find a new job.

In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, we highlight the stories
of Virginia’s Indian tribes and peoples. Pocahontas, the daughter of Paramount
Chief Powhatan, acted as emissary for her people in Jamestown and England. In
1614 Pocahontas was captured and baptized. Under the English name Rebecca,
Pocahontas married John Rolfe and was presented to King James I at court in
London but died in England in 1617, just before their ship left to return to
Virginia. Over 400 years later, Pocahontas remains an esteemed aspect of our
#homehistory and holds a place of honor in the Ladies’ Parlor at the Executive
Mansion.
