Holiday is coming! Perhaps it’s a good time to do something meaningful together as a family. Let your child get involved in the planning, let them have ownership of the project. Who knows you may be surprised by their creative idea!
Listed below are some ideas to get you started:
• Pick up trash at a neighborhood park.
• Celebrate Christmas in July by sending small gifts to a mis-
sionary family.
• Collect school supplies and backpacks for needy children.
• Collect eye glasses and give them to the Lions Club.
• Have a “sock drive” for the homeless and donate the socks to
a shelter.
• Plant a garden and give away vegetables to the community.
• Do yard work for the elderly or handicapped.
• Write and deliver notes of appreciation and packaged treats
to the fire or police station.
• Host a movie night and invite friends to come.
• Give out cold water near a construction side on a hot day.
• Plant flowers at the community garden, for an elderly person, or at a park
(with permission).
• Host “everybody’s birthday party” at a nursing home/active ageing center with games and cupcakes.
• Do a prayer walk around your church’s neighborhood.
• Organize a garage sale and give the money to a good cause.
• Donate pet supplies to a shelter.
• Pay for someone else’s meal in the drive-thru lane.
• Make get-well cards for someone.
• Prepare and deliver a meal to a mom with a new baby, a shut-
in or someone recovering from an illness.
Be creative and make it your own, and most importantly, be blessed as we bless others!
***Always check in advance to see if the organization needs help and what guidelines they might have.
