EMBRACE THE SEASON OF GOODWILL | | |
The abundance of goodwill and opportunities to interact with neighbors during the holidays make it a great time to use your unique skills and talents to help others.
When you volunteer, you take an active role in bringing about meaningful change in your own neighborhood. As a leading nonprofit for strengthening community through social responsibility, the Y encourages individuals to give back, be it at the Y, in the community or even within their own families. Here are a few acts of kindness to get you thinking about ways to volunteer:
- Play a game or read a book with an elderly family member or neighbor
- Make and deliver cards for patients who are spending the holidays in the hospital
- Cook a meal for a busy relative or friend
- Care for animals at an animal shelter
- Clear the snow from the sidewalk on your block or a neighbor's driveway
