What do you do with your family over the holidays to give back to the community? Do you donate food to the food bank? Do you serve Christmas dinner at a local shelter? Or do you donate a gift to Santas Anonymous?
These are all things we have heard of before and are very popular choices to do something for others during the Christmas season. All are very important and need people to continue to support them. But what I'm looking for is something off the beaten track. I want to know about those charities, events, or people that do not get as much press or support. The ones that might be forgotten about or go unnoticed during the crazy holiday season.
Even if you live in a different city I'm willing to take suggestions as we may have something similar here. This year I just want to try something different with my family so help inspire me :)
I find senior citizens are often forgotten about in our communities. Perhaps you could contact a senior's facility and see what their needs are. Some visits, helping cook meals/treats, decorating their rooms, etc. could make a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer, that's a good idea!
