Re: How to honor/worship Thor today?
I daresay Thor will accept anything that's offered to him with a pure heart. Except broken bones. Jointed meat is OK, but do not cut or break the bones. Also, do not keep a knife sharpening flint or stone near his shrine. He has a piece of flint shrapnel in his head from his fight with Hrungnir. Otherwise, I think he's happy to receive anything else. There are non-alcoholic beers, ales and wines. Remember, he likes to party, but if you need to alcohol or get drunk to party, it's not a very good party, is it?

^ This.

I'd include donations of any kind to police, fire and EMS organizations... they protect and help others. A periodic donation to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or the ASPCA (animals need protection too, and are often forgotten) are good. Buy a $10, $15, $25 gift card at a supermarket and give it to some random stranger who looks like they need a little help with their grocery bill. Anything that protects and helps those who need it, imo, are more dear to Thor than the biggest horn of mead or ale. He's hard on the outside, but a big moosh on the inside.

Or if you didn't want to do that, you could maybe start a garden plot and dedicate it to him? His storms would have often been good for the farmers and their crops. Or you could participate in something to help farmers, like donating your time or money to a charity that supports farmers. Or just a men's support group of some kind, we have a thing called 'The Men's Shed' here in Australia, or Movember, those sorts of things would probably be great to support in Thor's name.

Service Offerings: Donate time to an organization dedicated to protecting children from abuse. Help someone move or do some other sort of heavy work for someone in need of it. Protect the needy. Escort someone to do something that scares them, and be there as a source of courage and moral support for them.
