When many people think of giving to charity, they immediately think of money. Financial contributions are always needed by most all charities, but time and energy are just as important! Volunteering your time, energy, talents, and abilities are great ways to ensure that the people in your community - or the people who are involved with a cause that you are passionate about - get everything they need this season.
No matter who you are, you've got something to share that can make this world a better place to be... and this is the perfect time of year to share it!
Here are some simple ways that you can add positive energy and positive change to the world this giving season...
- Volunteer your time at a local food bank, and bring along any extra non-perishable items you may have around your own home.
- Connect with local community action programs to see how you can help at their next fundraising event. If you are an artist, local business, or if you have a great talent - chances are they can put you to work!
- If you have a creative talent or own a business, this is a great time of year to sponsor a raffle, auction, or giveaway that directly benefits a charity.
- As your family prepares for the holiday season, get everyone in on doing something special for an individual, family, or supporting agency in need. While you pick up all the goodies for your festivities, get a few extra things to take to a local shelter or food bank.
As you can see, it's easy and fun to participate in making the world a better place to be!
