Have a party and help others at the same time!
This summer my kids will be turning 2 and 4. In order to show them how important it is for us to give to those in need, we made a request to our friends and family that was a little different. If they were planning on bringing a gift for the girls, we asked them to bring school supplies from a list I received from a local charity that are needed for about two dozen children in our county. After the party, when the supplies are boxed, we will bring them to the organization and hopefully fill these kids’ backpacks!
It doesn’t have to be for a birthday party – have a summer bbq and you can do the same thing! Use your imagination and have some FUN!
If you are interested in doing something like this, it’s very easy. Just contact a local organization (charity, church, park, zoo, etc.) and ask them what they need. If you need any help or any other ideas – email me – I’m full of them! TomsRiverMom@gmail.com.
