Holiday Acts of Loving Kindness: Donating to local gift drives

​​

Acts of Loving Kindness
​​Bells aren’t ringing. Fewer volunteers are standing in front of stores singing songs, playing violins or inviting busy shoppers to share their change. Invitations to help support families during this holiday season are not as obvious as they were only a year ago. And yet, this year more than ever, more families will struggle to share holiday joy through gifts and giving.  

Today you can share kindness by doing a bit of research and making a donation to a local gift drive. Check out your local congregation to learn how you can support families in your neighborhood. Visit the websites of organizations, such as Salvation Army or Catholic Charities that are waiting for your gift to help gift others. Take a few moments and send a holiday gift that will certainly warm hearts and bring joy.
