Giving back this holiday season

In the midst of making Christmas lists and receiving gifts from family and friends, it is important to keep the less-fortunate in mind. Charitable actions can be as simple as writing a considerate card to someone or to a soldier overseas. Volunteering at a local food kitchen can provide service to many disadvantaged people. 

Donations are also popular this time of year. You can donate meals and outgrown clothes to families in need, money to research hospitals, or food to a local food bank or shelter. Find local non-profits at www.charityblossom.org to give back to during this holiday season. Even if you are busy this holiday season, you can donate to these local charities throughout the rest of the year.
