December 14, 2020

The Holiday season is a crazy time. Between finding the perfect gift and baking the best holiday treats, find time volunteering to help others. These simple and easy volunteer tips could help a family in your community during these times.

Find a toy drive:

Next time you are at the store, take a trip down the toy aisle. After securing the perfect toy, find your local Toys for Tots location and drop off the gift.

Find a canned food drive:

There are many food pantries and shelters that accept canned food donations. According to the North Texas Food Bank, The goal is to provide access to 105 million nutritious meals to hungry children, families, and seniors in our community.

Sponsor an Angel:

This is one of the best ways you could possibly donate. Sponsoring an angel helps provide a Christmas gift for those I need.
