This holiday season is about more than presents. It is about be thankful for blessings, embracing family, and looking forward to a new year. Unfortunately, there are so many individuals who have experienced great hardship this past year making this holiday season difficult to endure. If you are fortunate enough to share, do so. Givers make the best getters. The true meaning of the season is giving.
When we give of our selves with selfless motives, we create an opportunity to make a difference in the life of someone else. You may have experienced a kind gesture during a difficult period in your life. It made all the difference in the world to you, didn’t it? Pass that feeling along and be of a great benefit to someone who is in need. Here are 5 ways you can help make a difference:
1. Donate to your local food drive.
2. “Give new or gently used coats to the Salvation Army’s Coat Drive.”
3. Help serve the less fortunate dinner on Christmas Day.
4. Donate to a city shelter’s toy drive.
5. Help a friend or family that you know truly needs assistance.
