The Holidays are here and only 1 month left to shop for Christmas gifts!! I have my list for gifts to my family and friends all I need to do is get out there and shop!
But every year this time around my not be as exciting for some. Those families that cant afford much and the children that may miss out on getting those special gifts from Santa. Every year I like to take part in giving back to those in need. Even the smallest good deed will make a difference. This year my church is asking for volunteers to make food gift baskets to give to families in need in our community. My sister and I will be taking part. We are really excited. We will also donate gifts to the Chum city foundation. These are some ways we will be giving back this year.
I know life can be busy and there may be lots on your plate, but like I said even the smallest donation can help.
Here are some ways you can help;
1. Give your pocket change to those collecting money in front of your grocery store
2. Buy some extra canned food and drop it off at the front of the grocery store on your way out, most grocery stores have a huge box ready to accept donations.
3. Buy some of your gifts from corporations that donate the proceeds to the needy.
4. Pay attention to events hosted in your community to support the ones in need.
5. Clean out your closets, Donate Winter attire for the homeless
These are just some easy ways to give back this season, any one of us can do this with little effort. Imagine what we can do WITH some Extra Effort! We all need to reach out and help someone in need especially during the holidays ;)
