Giving

By Darla Youngblood

Giving is a big part of the Christmas season but really we need to think of ways to give all year long. We give gifts at Christmas but we can also donate money to a food bank or volunteer our time at a homeless shelter or somewhere else. Those are things we can do all year around. Another thing we can think about giving is just our time in helping others in some way. Go through all your stuff and donate anything that is still of use to a homeless shelter or domestic violence shelter. People in those shelters have very little and your things could help them to get back on their feet when they are able to get another home of their own again. Donating money or food you don’t need to a food bank helps people who are struggling to buy groceries all year around. Also great to make some cookies for a fire department or a hospital for the staff. These are selfless people who give to others all the time and we can do something nice for them in return. Or maybe just do something nice for a neighbor or a single parent. People don’t expect to be given things or have things done for them so surprise people and give your time or something else to others not just during the Christmas season but all year around! Show kindness to others in the world and maybe we can all make a difference in the world.
