It’s that time of year when even Northern California dons its most beautiful autumn colors, the mornings are crisper, and the scent of pumpkin spice is everywhere. And as every year, at MerciSF, we add a touch of blue, white, and red. Discover how the team will celebrate Thanksgiving on November 27.
