The holiday spirit: Ways your family can make a difference

Looking for a perfect volunteer opportunity for your family? No matter what your interests or time constraints are, there is sure to be an organization that fits your needs providing you the chance to make a difference.

Here are a few:

Alleviate hunger

Work with your family to bake your favorite kind of bread and drop it off at your local food pantry, fire station or police station. Help those in need or honor your local heroes. For more information, please look online at www.spreadthebread.org.

Keep someone warm

Collect your old coats and those of your family and friends. Your efforts will ensure that the homeless in your community don't get left out in the cold this winter. For more information, look online at www.onewarmcoat.org
