Donate Clothes and Toys\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donating clothing and toys is a great way to give to those in need throughout the year, and even more so during the holiday season. Begin by contacting homeless shelters and donation centers in your area to find out what items they’re most in need of.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain to your kids that many families can’t afford presents and that they can make a difference by giving away just a few of their less-loved toys. If they seem hesitant, try framing it in terms of “making room” for new ones or “sharing” them with friends in need.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also amp up the fun by turning donating into a family extravaganza: sip hot cocoa and listen to cheerful holiday tunes while driving to drop off your clothing and toy donations.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>2.

Feeding America has predicted that more than 50 million people may experience hunger because of COVID-19. To make a bigger impact, take a “giving road trip” to the grocery store! Use this \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tool\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find your local food bank, and purchase nonperishable foods, diapers and toiletries (such as toilet paper and soap). \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To take it one step further, organize a canned food drive for a local food bank. This is a wonderful way to make a difference and get your community involved, whether you work with your children’s school, your office or your place of worship to hold the drive. These drives are still possible this year with social distancing! You’ll be demonstrating to your little ones how important it is to give back—not only from your own used items but from your paycheck, too.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>3. Donate Your Time\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond physical donations, one of the best ways to volunteer with kids over the holidays is to give of your time. You don’t have to find an official charity event, either!

Serve a Holiday Meal\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many faith centers, shelters and community service organizations host free holiday dinners for those in need, and volunteers can pitch in by donating ingredients or preparing dishes. You and your little ones can also take the holiday cheer on the road through organizations such as Meals on Wheels.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>5. Give Your Kids Ownership\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children have much more fun volunteering when they have some say in the activity. If Harrison loves reading, let him pick out a special book to donate. If Julia is obsessed with dogs, consider volunteering at the local animal shelter! The best volunteer opportunities for kids revolve around their specific interests to teach them that giving back doesn’t have to be a chore.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>6.

The kids have a blast and are super excited to help those less fortunate. We then pick a charity to donate everything to—this year’s choice was the Salvation Army. The kids love it because we truly try to teach them that the holidays aren’t just about presents—rather it’s about presence—being able to assist others in need and making their holidays brighter.” – Brent, Father of 2\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Around the holidays, I like to take my children to the Target toy section and have them choose a toy to donate to another child. I tell them to choose something they know they would enjoy receiving so they can earn that some children need the toys more than they do. It’s a nice opportunity to spend time together while giving back.” – Aimee, Mother of 3\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“My kids are still a bit too young to volunteer with us, but I’m excited to start introducing them to giving back.
