Volunteer with your team to help the needy
Gratitude is a wonderful emotion. While
we celebrate life’s most precious gifts - family, food and love this
Thanksgiving, wouldn’t it be a great idea to share our blessings with people
who aren’t as privileged? Bring together the team to volunteer and spend a
Thanksgiving with true gratitude.
Here are a few things you can do:
Feed the hungry
You can either hitch up with an NGO or
do this on your own. Since you have the full team, you can organize a potluck
for the homeless.
Clean the beach
This would be a good idea. It can be a
day event, wherein kids go home to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with their families.
Volunteer at an organization
There are various organizations that
undertake charitable work. You can look up the internet for such organizations
working in your area and get in touch with them to understand how you can
participate as a team.
Spend the day at Senior Foster Care
These people are in the evening of
their lives and all they need is love. Spending the day would mean so much to
them, especially on a day like Thanksgiving, when they miss their families so
much. This would be an awesome way to spend thanksgiving.
Spend the day at animal shelter
Animals need love too.
Besides, research has proven that a child who can love and care for an animal
with kindness and patience, may grow up to become a more compassionate and
kinder individual.
Share winter clothes with the homeless
Organize a neighborhood
collection or a school collection of winter clothes people are willing to give
away. Share those clothes with the homeless. Nothing better than spreading
warmth.
More than for those who would benefit
from your volunteering, do it for the children. Sharing love and care on this
beautiful holiday will teach kids a lesson for life. Like I said, gratitude is
a beautiful emotion.
