How do YOU volunteer through the holidays? It is the perfect time to help those less fortunate during the season of goodwill. Remembering the less fortunate this time of year helps keep life in the proper perspective. Volunteering gives a reprieve from personal worries and allows a glimpse into another person’s struggles. Serving those less fortunate helps us be more grateful for our blessings and minimizes our worries. Helping others can bring many positives into your life too. So, how do YOU volunteer through the holidays? If you haven’t but would like to and aren’t sure where to begin, try some of these ideal places to begin with.

Other Ways To Volunteer
These are just a few ways to volunteer this holiday season. It is my hope that you will find a local homeless shelter, church ministry, animal shelter, battered women’s shelter, or some other source of critical needs in your area to volunteer at. You can do this individually or as a family. Volunteering is one way you can bless others with the time and talents God gave YOU to make a difference in this world. How do YOU volunteer through the holiday season? Blessings!
All excellent ideas. Thanks for sharing.
There are always others who are less fortunate all around us to consider~
