1. Make Fiscal Donation — One of the simplest ways to support causes you care about is by making a fiscal donation. Charities and non-profits throughout the community are always looking for more financial support! Research charities in your community that align with your passions and seamlessly make multiple donations.
2. Perform Random Acts of Kindness — Giving back is not necessarily about donating money and time. Sometimes it is simply about spreading joy and love!

3. Donate Clothing — Do you have some extra, gently used clothing laying around? Give those pieces a second life with people in need through local clothing drives, second-hand stores, and more.
4. Donate Food — Eating good food together is a big part of how we celebrate the holidays. Ensure other families throughout the community can enjoy a delicious holiday meal this season by donating non-perishable food, frozen turkeys, prepared meals, and more to local food drives and food-focused charities.
5. Volunteer Your Time — From serving meals at a local soup kitchen, to collecting change outside of a grocery store and much more, volunteering your time is a fantastic way to spend a day this holiday season! Find local organizations throughout your community who are currently looking for volunteers.
6. Give Blood — If you are healthy and willing, there are many organizations currently looking for donations for blood and plasma this time of year.
