Halloween is just around the corner. With holidays, is supposed to bring joy for everyone, no matter their circumstances. Here are a few ways to spread joy around your community during the spooky season.
Trick-or-Treat for cans instead of candy
Send out flyers to your surrounding subdivisions, asking to bring cans to their door rather than candy. Go through with a wagon and collect them. When you have made all of your rounds, count your cans, and bring them to your nearest community donation center. Many people will appreciate your work and you will have a fantastic feeling afterwards.
Have a clothes/shoe drive in your driveway
The donations don't need to stop at cans, you can collect clothes and shoes as well. You can leave a box outside of your house, and people walking around on Halloween can drop clothes. Posting that the donation box will be out on social media will help you find the people willing to help.
Make trick-or-treat bags for children that are unable
There are children all around that are unable to go out and trick-or-treat. Whether they are in the hospital, or in a shelter, all children deserve to enjoy Halloween. Making treat bags for children will bring not only a smile to children, but to all.
Make cards or decorations for nursing homes
Halloween is not only a holiday for children, it should be enjoyed by everyone. Making a variety of things to give to nursing homes will bring them an abundance of joy. The elders will use this as a way to remember that there is good things going on around them, and that people are thinking of them.
Positivity pumpkins
Everyone has seen painted rocks laying around your community. For the change in seasons, paint positive quotes on small pumpkins to spread the fall cheer. Positivity pumpkins will show someone that doesn't expect it some joy.
Although being able to celebrate and go out is very difficult this year, that doesn't mean that you can't help spread happiness throughout your community. Your help will not be overlooked. You may not recieve recognition, but you will recieve the gift of self love. Helping others will give you more joy than anything else.
