Here are 8 simple ideas for giving back this holiday season. Most are no-cost, some little-cost, suggestions for helping others. And we all know one of the best ways to help yourself feel better is to help someone else.
1) Donate your old cell phone to victims of domestic violence at ncadv.org.
2) Forgive someone.
3) Tutor a budding writer at 826national.org.
4) Instead of giving the party hostess a bottle of wine, donate to a local charity in her name.
5) Save energy by shutting off your computer at day's end.
6) Help fund supplies and field trips to underfunded public schools at donorschoose.org.
7) When you hear a siren, say a little prayer for the person(s) in need.
8) Use recyclable bags to grocery shop.
Give these a try and tell us about it in the comments. Or, share your ideas for meaningful, low cost, ways to "give back".
