So every year I go and volunteer at Feed My Starving Children. Read about this wonderful organization and my experience here! Well technically this is only my second year, but I have decided to make it an annual thing. Because I believe that it is vital for all of us to help our community in some way or another.
Giving back to your community promotes so many things! It boosts your local economy and and establishes a stronger community. It also instills a sense of gratitude and empowerment within you! I could go on and on about the benefits of giving back but this post is about how you CAN give back in your community, so let’s get to it!
5 Ways To Give Back
- Volunteer – whenever you have a few extra hours volunteer at one of your local non-for-profit organizations. There are tons of thrift stores, food pantries & homeless shelters that could use your help!
- Shop Small Local Businesses – When you shop at your local small businesses more of your dollars stay in your community. That small business pays taxes in your community and they more than likely live in and around your community so their dollars stay local.
- Mentor – Investing in the next generation of your community helps to create a better more stable one.
- Donate – Donate unused clothes, blankets and household goods to local homeless shelters and non-for-profit thrift stores
- Bake Food – Ok I am not talking about having a bake sale here. What I am referring to is baking food for your local fire department, police officers and government employees during the holidays when they are required to work. They are away from their families, keeping us safe while we enjoy our Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas get togethers. So show a little love and cook up an extra plate for them, bake some extra cookies and thank them for their service!
There you have it. 5 ways to give back in your community. I hope these ideas will give you some motivation to get involved and give back in your community!
