The holidays are a time for giving. In an era where people have lost so much, it is crucial to give back to communities this year.
And, the most impactful act of giving as yet singles down to charity. Whether it’s through donations or lending a helping hand to organizations, the feeling of helping someone in need is priceless and could lift the holiday spirits of many people.
There are many organizations and communities that are genuinely in need of help this year — be it through hygiene products or canned food — any act of kindness brings truth to the holiday spirit.
Organizations such as Toys for Tots and Operation Christmas Child accept presents for children and as well anything ranging from sanitary products to school supplies, and even candy.
However, not everyone may not be able to afford or purchase gifts; in that case, participating in the Make-A-Wish foundation is yet another fun way to help. If a letter is dropped for Santa at any participating Macy’s store, the store will donate a dollar per letter.
With this, siblings are able to spend time together crafting their wish lists together and sparking the love for the season of joy.
Not only is this a fun way to send letters to Santa Clause and bond with siblings but it is also free of cost.
Angel Tree is an organization that accepts donations that provides gifts to children whose parents have been imprisoned who are often overlooked during the holidays.
The world is full of people that may require a helping hand year-round, but it is especially during the winter season. There are some people that have no homes, no presents under the tree, and sometimes they may not even have a family to spend the holidays with.
Orphanages have their doors open to donations for the celebratory winter season. The organization His House is accepting donations to help children that are in need in this pandemic-filled era.
Many families that have unfortunately lost a member of their family due to the virus, and helping them out during this season could lift their spirits and ultimately spark a change.
It’s the season to give. In the end, what truly makes up the holidays is the essence of sincerity and generosity.
