Scott Storick on How to Give Back this Holiday Season

Giving back this holiday season is about generosity and helping those in need, not looking for recognition that you did a good deed. Many people like to give back anonymously, others want to be the face of an effort to help, the only thing that matters is that those less fortunate are able to enjoy a little holiday cheer thanks to your efforts.

Here are a few ways on how to give back this holiday season:

Collecting Food for the Needy

Not every family needs toys for the kids this Christmas, some would be happy with a meal. Start a drive at work, or begin to collect can goods from your neighborhood, and drop off a truckload of goods to the local food bank so they can feed even more needy families this holiday.

The Secret Santa

Have some extra cash and want to help those who have children to buy for this holiday? Visit a toy store and tell the manager you would like to pay off the layaway purchases for as many families as you can afford. No one needs to know who you are, and those families will be in for a huge surprise when they come to the store to pickup their merchandise.

Keeping Families Warm

Gather up all those coats taking up closet space, reach out to family and friends for their coats, and drop them off at the local homeless shelter or Goodwill.

Giving Your Time

Don't have money but want to give back this holiday, donate your time at a homeless shelter serving hot meals this holiday. Visit the local nursing home and spend some time talking with residents and giving them something to be excited about for the day when no one is visiting them on the holiday.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

While out to dinner, keep an eye out for the waitress or waiter who is going above and beyond to brighten the lives of others. Leave them an extraordinary tip this holiday for all their hard work.

There you have it, plenty of ideas that will allow you to spread holiday cheer to as many people as possible. The great thing about giving from the heart is that each year you feel the desire to do more and reach even more people.
