Helping out around the Holiday Season
Photo by: The Seafarer
Well as we can all see, the holiday season is upon us once again. I know for most it seems as though we just started 2009. But this is the time of year when it seems that it is very important to give back. Now with Thanksgiving already gone by, it can be a little hard to do much, but the December holidays are still to come. So let me give a few tips of things that you and your non profit can do. First, you can hold an office food drive. Have people bring in non perishable food items and after a certain date bring them to your local food pantry. You can also collect toys for Toys for Tots or other items for other holiday drives happening this time of year. Another open is to gather up some of your employees and volunteer your time at a homeless shelter or food pantry. There are many options out there of things you can do. The most important thing is that you give something back. As we, the fortunate, are celebrating the holidays with our families this year, we all need to think about those who are less fortunate an may not be as lucky as we are. So go out there and give back to your community.
