How To Assist Your Community
The ideal world would entail no more hardships, no more war, no more harassment and no more poverty. Then again, we are not living in a perfect world. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Obviously, there are people who still need to go to work and toil day and night just to provide food for the table or to send the kids to good schools. Although, we are not living in the same status as some of us are lucky to be born wealthy, it is important that we learn how to reciprocate to the community. By reaching out and serving others, we can make a difference. Cited below are some of the things that we can do to give back to the community.
Garage Sales For A Cause
Garage sales are very popular for profit or non profit. Garage sales can do good to us and the community. Aside from making people happy, we are making our place greener and more organized. To begin, choose a good cause which the money will go to. Then get three boxes. Write the following labels: First box: things to stay. Second box: things to donate. Third box: things to throw away.
Go through old drawers and cabinets and find reusable clothes. Drop them to their correct boxes. But, throw away those worn out garments that are no longer wearable or use them as rugs. Check the condition of the clothes in the second box, if they are still viable. Besides garments, find other items that can be added to the sale like old books, lanterns, table and other cool stuff that are still useful.
After sorting everything, designate a date for the garage sale. Tell friends about the activity and where the proceeds of the sale will go to. On the day of the sale, put a box for monetary contributions. The donation box is for those who are not interested to buy, but would like to extend help through monetary support. Put up decoration to tell everyone about the garage sale. After the garage sale, donate the money to the chosen cause. Brng also those things that were not bought and contribute them.
Healthy And Entertaining Soup Kitchen
Two of the leading problems, we are facing today are poverty and malnutrition. Ideally, we should eat a healthy meal at least three times a day. Tragically, not al can spare to eat a good meal. One way to extend help is to organize a soup kitchen. Find people who are enthusiastic to lend a hand in this mission. Meet up and share fresh thoughts. Pick a date and plan the menu. List the group of people who will benefit from the soup kitchen feeding program. It can be the children in the bordering orphanage or the group of sick children in the infirmary. Find organizations and groups willing to help in the activityl. To make the soup kitchen fun and bubbly, ask friends and family members to sing a song or prepare a dance number. There are groups of medical practitioners who are willing to help in proceeds and community work, ask them for their support. They can check the kids’ health while those in charge of the soup kitchen are dispensing bowls of soups and other nutritional food.
In the present day, people are being creative when it comes to giving. Giving is not all about money. We can offer our time, assistance and talents to make others feel that they are not alone. By being noble we are giving back to the society and making a difference today.
