Other Ways to Volunteer or Brighten Someone’s Day:

* Smile at someone or give them a compliment in your own home or when you are out and about

*Call a local animal shelter - do they need any supplies donated or help in the shelter?

* Write notes and drop at your local Senior Center, local Hospital or neighbor! 

* Use technology for good! Send an email, text or phone call to someone you haven’t connected with in awhile. 

*Mark your calendar for when you will clear a closet, drop off goods, etc - this creates a great mindset, hope, and future planning for you and your family. 

*Reach out to one or two people and organize a drive for any of the above ideas.
