Help Others This Holiday Season

November 20, 2008

This holiday make the season a little brighter for others. Giving back is a great thing to do all year round, but the holidays tend to bring out the charitable side in most people. Try some of these ideas with your family and make a difference this holiday season.

• Donate to a charitable organization
• Invite an elderly neighbor or someone who lives alone to join your celebration (ask your parents first!)
• Deliver a meal to a family in need
• Write a thoughtful note to someone special
• Bring your host a small gift to show your appreciation and offer to help clean up
• Donate clothes you've outgrown
• Donate food to a local charity or food bank
• Volunteer at a soup kitchen
• Send a care package to a soldier
• Visit hospital patients
• Foster a dog or cat
• Adopt an endangered animal through a zoo
• Shovel snow for a neighbor
• Help pick up trash at a local park
• Join a church or school group that does community service projects

Helping others is a theme of the holidays. Is there anything else we can add to this list to help others? Remember to write your idea in paragraph format. Make it great!

  1. That will be nice of the person to give someone a wonderful gift. I think it is a good idea to do that. All though doze the person have to give the other person a gift. I think so to be nice.

  2. We can add tones of things to help people. I will only write three things. When you go to someone's house to celebrate with others coming too, you should help that relative cleanup or make some food with them, just to make them feel good. you could give your friends gifts. The last thing you could do is help decorate their house before the party begains.
