The holidays are a tough time for almost everyone. It's a time of reflection, a time to remember those we've lost, and a time to be with those we care about. However, some of us have it harder than others. The holidays are the perfect time to give back to those in need; here are some creative ways to do so.
1. Collect cans of food and give them to a food bank.
2. Gather up old coats and clothes and donate them to a homeless shelter or Goodwill.
3. Run an errand for someone.
4. Bake some holiday sweets and share them with friends and neighbors.
5. Donate a toy to Toys for Tots.
6. Donate blood to save a life.
7. Write someone in your life a note of appreciation.
8. Bring some blankets, dog food or toys to an animal shelter.
9. Give an unexpected generous tip to your server to make their day.
10. Pay for someone's order in the drive thru anonymously.
This holiday season, take the time to make someone smile, make someone's day. Putting someone positive into the world brings something positive back to you.
