Tis the season

I have really been trying to focus on the good lately and am feeling the itch to pay it forward.  It got me thinking about doing some charity work,etc.  I am having a hard time deciding on what to do.  Do any of you do any charity work?  If so, what do you do?  If not, what would you like to do if time permitted?

Re: Tis the season

  • I volunteered for Big Brothers Big Sister throughtout college. It was an amazing experince and would deffinatly recommend it to people wanting to volunteer. They also have "couples" matches so you can have a little with your DH. This is something that I have wanted to start doing with my H. While I was matched with my little we did a lot of things in our community, rang bells for the salvation army, planted trees for earth day. It was great to be able to give an underprivileged child experiences that she wouldn't have gotten else where.

  • In the past, I have volunteered for our local no-kill animal shelter socializing cats and walking dogs.  It was nice to do after work.

  • I signed up to volunteer for Stanford Children's Hospital once, to read books to sick kids.  It didn't end up working out---they changed volunteer coordinators mid-way through my "training" and so you had to re-submit, and by that time, I had no time to give :-(---but I think that would be so rewarding and inspiring, even if a bit sad.
