Though we all may face hard times, we are in many ways,
truly blessed and more fortunate than others and they do not call Christmas the
‘season of giving’ for nothing! As we all rush around buying presents for our
loved ones, take a moment to give a gift to someone else – a stranger
in need.
There is nothing better than sharing the Christmas spirit
and here are some ways you can. Remember, your local city and community will
have multiple ways you can give as well!
Angel Tree
This
organization gathers monetary and toy donations for children whose parents are
in prison. Help give an amazing child their dream gift!
Salvation
Army Red Kettles
We all see
the red colored kettles outside Wal-Mart and other stores during the holiday
season. When you put money into the red kettle you are helping out your local
and international Salvation Army’s provide help to families and individuals in
need.
Soup
Kitchens and Pantries
Take a
moment to look up your local food banks or kitchens. The holiday’s are a great
time to volunteer to serve a meal or pass out food.
Operation
Christmas Child
This
organization sends shoeboxes filled with toys, learning games and things like
gloves and hats all over the world. Fill and wrap your own shoebox and find a
local drop of center to send your gift to a child in need!
What are
some ways you give back during the holidays?
