10 Ways to Give Back this Holiday Season
10. Volunteer your time
One of the best ways to give back is to volunteer your time and skills to a worthy cause. Consider giving your time to a local food bank, soup kitchen, or senior’s home. For those living in the Coachella Valley, consider volunteering with our favorite charity, AAP Food Samaritans.
9. Donate food or goods
Another great way to give back is to donate food or goods to a local food bank or soup kitchen. If you have extra non-perishable food items, consider giving them to someone who may not be able to afford them.
8. Participate in a toy drive
Many organizations hold toy drives during the holiday season to help brighten the day of a child in need. If you’re able, consider donating a new toy to a local toy drive.
7. Give blood
Donating blood is a great way to give back and help save lives! Many blood banks experience a shortage of donations during the holidays, so consider giving blood if you can.
6. Adopt a family
Many families are challenged to make ends meet during the holiday season. Adopting a family in need, providing food, toys, clothing, and gift cards, can make a huge difference in their lives!
5. Donate to a worthy cause
If you’re able, consider contributing financially to a worthy cause this holiday season. If you are part of our desert community and looking for a worthy beneficiary, we encourage you to join us in supporting AAP Food Samaritans! Even if you can’t afford to give financially, they are always looking for volunteers.
4. Participate in a clothing drive
Many organizations hold clothing drives during the winter months. If you have extra coats, shoes, boots, or clothing you don’t need, consider donating them.
3. Help out at a shelter
Shelters always need volunteers, especially during the holidays. If you have some free time, consider giving your time to a local shelter. You can help with everything from serving meals to providing companionship to residents.
2. Give a gift to a child in need
Many children go without basic necessities like clothes and toys during the holiday season. Giving a gift to a child in need can make their holiday season much brighter!
1. Spread some holiday cheer!
One of the best ways to give back is to spread holiday cheer. Random acts of kindness, like paying for a stranger’s coffee or running errands for an elderly neighbor, are sure to be well-received!
During the holidays, Fusion Workplaces Palm Desert supports AAP Food Samaritans of the Coachella Valley. This incredible organization provides food and nutritional support to low-income and underserved individuals living with chronic illnesses, including HIV/AIDS. We are passionate about this cause as we know our donations go directly where it’s needed.
Giving back feels good—and it’s even better when we do it together.
