Explanation:
Create hygiene bags to give out to the homeless when you see them on the side of the street. You could put things such as toothpaste, a toothbrush, deodorant, mouth wash, floss, soap and baby wipes in the bag.
Go grocery shopping for an elderly neighbor. Sometimes our grandparents and elderly neighbors have a hard time walking through the store. Take an hour out of your day to go get some essentials like bread, milk, eggs, fruits and veggies and meat for them. OR: if you’re in a huge time crunch, take advantage of Amazon’s new grocery delivery service.
Stand up against bullying. When you see someone bullying another person in public, at school, or at work, say something. There is power in numbers. There is a way to do it so you don’t engage in petty arguments or get dragged into drama, but don’t let another person be bullied on your watch.
Side note: If you’re experiencing peer pressure, and bullying right now call the free bullying hotline 1-844-256-0735.

Become a mentor to someone by signing up to be a Big Brother or Sister. You can find out about some benefits for mentoring in our blog here. Many Big Brothers and Big Sisters also see growth in themselves for being a mentor to someone else.
Help a neighbor take care of their yard. Sometimes we have a neighbor who is either disabled, elderly or a single parent who struggles to manage their yard work. If it is wintertime and your neighbor could use their driveway shoveled, can you offer a helping hand? Or maybe you can rake the fall leaves. Brainstorm how you can help take care of a practical need.
Drop off bus passes at a local school. Some students struggle to get to school every day because they can’t catch the free school bus or someone can’t drive them to school. If you drop off bus passes at a school office, the front office staff can offer it to students who are in need of public transportation help.
Donate blood. Many local blood banks are operating at a shortage. Did you know that one single blood donation has the potential to help up to four people? Something you take for granted may be the answer to a stranger’s health concern.
Be an Angel. Around the holidays, find a family in need. You can help put food on the table for the holiday and even help with gifts or basic necessities for their children.
Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Shelters can always use extra hands whether it is handing out food or helping prepare food. It can be a very humbling experience for young adults and kids to learn about generosity. Believe it or not, holidays are usually the most likely time for volunteers to sign up. So call your local shelter and find out when they are in need of an extra hand.
