Our neighbors in our local community and around the world need our help on a regular basis and we see and here this every day in the news. There is always going to be situations and circumstances that could use a helping hand, in a big way or in a small way. Do you have a few hours to spare during the month? This could make such a big difference in someones life.
Helping out in your community and around the world is rewarding to you and most importantly to those you are helping. From going to a senior citizens home and help in cleaning, or taking them on errands or doctor appointments. Or contacting your local community services, or churches to find out different meal kitchens to help out in.
I have a friend who recently told me that her niece started giving back packs to homeless people. She puts in essentials, easy to eat food, hats and gloves. She started this in November of 2009 and it has grown to where people are donating to her so that she has the supplies needed to continue to help those in need. What a beautiful story.
You can contact your local Gospel Missions, Animal Shelters, Battered Women Shelters, Catholic Community Services, Animal Shelters…..the list is huge…
There are endless ways we can help. Here is a list of several opportunities for us to do just that:
- Volunteer.org
- Mentoring Center
- Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America
- Boys and Girls Clubs of America
- Youth Service America
- Red Cross
- Salvation Army
- United Way
- Habitat For Humanity
- Kiva
- Keep America Beautiful
- Make a Wish Foundation
- Special Olympics
- Toys for Tots
- Home Aid
- Disney
- Feeding America
- Children’s Cancer Foundation
- St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital
- International Cancer Alliance
- Breast Cancer Alliance
- Helping Jerry’s Kids
- World Vision
- Poverty USA
- D.Gary Young Foundation
There are many, many other ways we can get out and help. It is amazing to me how so many people dedicate so much of their lives to helping others. I think that if we all take the time to help out too, we will be speeding the goodness, and loving energy around our earth to be there for our brothers and sisters.
I am thankful to be a Young Living distributor, as I know that Young Living is continually helping throughout the world. In knowing that the company I am a part of, is dedicated in helping AND providing quality products to all that are seeking better health and well being.
If you were in need, wouldn’t it be a welcome gift to have someone reach out to help. The need is forever, so why don’t we all start by giving of our time and or resources to help others and do it on a regular basis.
