"Many of us are operating at full throttle in December as we rush through the stores to find the items on our kids' holiday wish lists and plan for elaborate family dinners.
For those who are struggling to make ends meet, however, the holidays can be one of the most difficult times of year. Buying gifts and extra food is just not in the budget. Some families are worrying about more important things, such as where they will sleep that night, or where their next meal will come from.
December is the perfect time to extend the great spirit of giving beyond our homes and give together as families. There is no better way to impart altruism to our kids than to donate or volunteer together. And we can make a real difference in our community."
