4 Ways to Show Gratitude Through Service

At New Beginnings Family Law, P.C., in Huntsville, Alabama, we think that the holiday season is a great time for everyone to show gratitude through service to others. There are several ways for you to help other individuals in order to appreciate what you have.

1. Volunteer at a Local School
   Contact a local school to volunteer to read a book to preschoolers or to help with an event such as a harvest festival. If you are artistic, then maybe you can create a beautiful bulletin board in a classroom or paint a mural on a wall. Alternatively, maybe a teacher needs someone to come along on a field trip to provide additional supervision for students.
2. Work at a Soup Kitchen
   Religious organizations frequently provide a free meal once a day to the individuals in a community who do not have enough money for food. Some of these individuals are homeless while others are working low-paying jobs. Soup kitchens are often struggling to have someone work for them to prepare meals, wash dishes or clean tables, but you can volunteer a few days a month to help out.
3. Participate in a Community’s Clothing Drive
   As temperatures drop in the autumn, many individuals need to have warmer clothing to prevent frostbite. Unfortunately, winter coats, sweaters, and socks are too expensive for struggling parents to buy for themselves or their children. You can help your community by organizing a clothing drive that is designed to collect gently used garments to give to the children or adults who need the items.
4. Get Involved In a Neighborhood Cleanup
   If you notice that your local neighborhood is littered with a lot of trash, then you should do something about it. To organize a cleanup, some of the things needed for everyone to pick up beverage cans or paper trash are trash bags, disposable gloves and grabbing tools.
