Top 5 ways to give back this Christmas Season 🎄🎄🎄🎄
- Donate your time at a local soup kitchen or food bank
Here is a directory of local soup kitchens in Texas(bit.ly/2BHos1F)
- Toys for Tots which allows you to give toys to children. It's an annual drive with the Marine Corps Reserve. Majority of the sponsors are local toy stores.

- Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. (sampur.se/2CPaQ3U) I actually did this one as a teen. It's where you fill up a shoe box and put little trinkets. The boxes are sent overseas and help needy children! Even though it's just a small box it can make a difference.
- Salvation Army bell ringers. They are all over the malls and WalMarts this organization helps the homeless and even children one of the best charities!
- Angel Tree with Salvation Army
I personally find this to be the most fulfilling as I actually used to be one of those angels growing up! As my birthday ad Christmas are only 2 days apart I usually didn't receive many presents during the holiday season when my family was hit hardest financially. I was so blessed to be able to be gifted by so many giving people when I was younger.
These are just my top 5 ways and there are so many ways to give this season. It just takes one person to make a difference in the life of others!
- Make cookies 🍪 🍪for your local postman, massage therapist, nail salon technician, hairstylist, children teacher and professor! People you deal with daily that also may have stressful lives!
