As we move into the holiday season, it is all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the busiest shopping season of the year. But we here at the Dignity & Respect Campaign encourage everyone to focus on giving back this year. Here are some simple ideas to get you started.
1. Say “Thank You!” Write a note to someone who has helped you out this year.
2. Donate to your local food bank
3. Donate to your favorite charity
4. Donate old clothes especial any winter coats that are still in good repair
5. Volunteer at your local soup kitchen
6. Send a care package to a soldier
7. Foster an shelter animal in need
8. Shovel snow for your neighbors, especially neighbors who are physically infirm
9. Pick up trash at a local park or around your community
10. Visit patients at your local hospital or nursing home
And if you have ideas on how to help your friends, neighbors and community, please share them with us!
Invite someone who may be alone over to celebrate Christmas with your family!
