Looking to give back this holiday season in your community? Bring these ideas to your employees and inspire each other to go the extra mile to give help for a great cause. Or better yet, set up a holiday donation for your company and encourage everyone to participate at some level. We’ve always said “any amount, no matter how big or small, makes an impact.”
- Encourage Your Staff To Volunteer: Volunteer days are a lot of fun and great for team building, and are a great way to give back to the community.
- Donate To A Good Cause: Find a charity that aligns with your corporate values, and help support them.
- Give To Your Community: Set up a blanket or coat donation, or another event to help those in need.
- Take Part In A Charity Food Drive: Collect cans, boxed food, and other non-perishables, and donate them to a homeless shelter or food bank.
- Sponsor An Intern In The New Year: Investing in young workers in your area is a great way to help build up the local community, and open up new doors.
- Reward Your Employees: A Christmas party, Starbucks gift card, end-of-year bonus – whatever’s appropriate!
- Host A Toy Drive: Toy For Tots is a great way to give back and help kids and families in need to have a great holiday season.
- Senior Visits: Call around to senior centers to see if residents might enjoy a visit. They often love visits from pets as well!
- Appreciate The Military: Consider a discount for members of the Armed Forces who protect our country, or send mail to soldiers overseas.
- Natural Disaster Relief: Find a charity that’s helping with disaster relief either abroad or at home, and donate to help the victims of natural disasters.
- Adopt A Family: Reach out to a nearby children’s hospital, school or church to donate to a family that needs the essentials to live a happy and healthy life.
- Engage All Year Long: Don’t just use the holidays as a time to give back. Make it a point to engage with your community throughout the year!
Make sure you give back to your community – choose your method, and spread the word!
