As materialism hits its high-point this gift-giving season, some relief for the soul can be found in the countless Madison area volunteering opportunities. Giving a little time can make all that twinkles just that much brighter.
Community Action Coalition of South Central Wisconsin Inc.:
The CAC is designed to ensure that families are able to keep their homes by helping them to apply for loans to cover down payments on home. The center also features emergency food and clothing supplies. Donating canned food, clothing or time to this organization is a great way to give a little bit back.
Holiday Singing
Whether the songs are about a dreidel or a Christmas tree, sharing a little bit of holiday cheer from door to door could result in not only a sunny disposition, but also some cookies and beverages... maybe even fun beverages!
Toys for Tots
With so many drop sites around the Madison area, all one really needs to do is purchase an unwrapped holiday gift to be given to a child who would otherwise go without. It makes a spoiled holiday kid feel better just thinking about it.
