Volunteering during the Holiday Season

Volunteering around the holidays has gotten so popular that some organizations fill their volunteer slots within just hours or days after making sign-ups open to the public. That means if you want to add a little extra meaning to your holiday season, you may need to get more creative.

Here is a compilation of volunteer suggestions for you to explore as 2018 comes to a close, each of which falls into one of four main categories:

• Donating needed items
• Connecting with people who are homebound
• Giving to a family in need
• Supporting refugees in your community

Pro Tip: If you're looking for a group opportunity, we’ve noted a few ideas that can be great group activities with friends or coworkers.
