Volunteering together as a family provides quality time, strengthens communication, and provides opportunities for family members to be role models while making significant contributions to their communities. Volunteering gives families a chance to be together, work side-by-side, and discuss issues facing the world today.   It is valuable time spent together while helping others!

Ideas for your family to volunteer:

• Go grocery shopping as a family, purchase groceries and deliver them to your local food shelf.
• Arrange to make and deliver dinner for an elderly neighbor or sick friend.
• Help someone who “can’t” by raking their lawn, decorating for the holidays, doing their errands, etc.
• Walk the neighbors dog
• Offer to baby sit for a young family that needs a night out.
• Organize a community “closet cleaning” day/week and donate to a homeless shelter or other organizationPartner with other families to clean up the neighborhood or park
• Bake cookies for Interfaith Outreach holiday party
