Four Fun Ways For Families To Give Back to the Community During The Holidays

December, being National Giving Month marks the time when Jesus Christ was born. Christians give out gifts since they believe that Jesus Christ was a special gift from God to mankind. The concept of giving gifts further evolved into Santa's yearly visits. This magical individual would gift good people. In December, people would do good deeds and gift others to be labeled as good people by Santa. All these things have made December the month of spreading happiness, gifting, and giving back to Bristol County and Attleboro communities. Here are some ways families can give back to the community during this holiday season.

1. Bake Casseroles or Cookies And Take Them To a Local Police Station in Raynham or To Your Needy/Elderly Neighbor

Cooking with kids can be messy. However, it is an easy and fun way to involve your children in volunteering and giving back to the community. Therefore, this holiday season, get your family members to help you bake cakes, cookies, or casseroles. Take them to a local police station in Raynham or Dartmouth, a local fire station, or a needy neighbor. Your family members will have fun baking while impacting someone’s life.

2. Visit Christmas City in Massachusetts

Taunton is known as "The Christmas City" because the community has been hosting its signature lighting for over 100 years. A wide range of family-friendly activities occur, and local restaurants offer food and beverages during the festivity. Apart from the holiday lights, Taunton runs a canned food donation program, which allows residents to help feed the hungry and commit the season to give to others.

3. Plymouth Holiday Market

The Plymouth holiday market shows a variety of handmade items that aid families in selecting holiday gifts for their loved ones. Some of the things parents and children can purchase for needy people in Plymouth are giftable art, home goods, and jewelry.

4. Visit a Local Nursing Home

Many disabled people and seniors live in nursing homes. These people need to experience the holiday joy just like other people. Your family can schedule a visit to a nursing home in Plymouth. You can give gifts to the people there, help feed them and chat with them. You can also encourage your children to entertain them. To ensure that your children have a good time when there, make sure to visit when the residents participate in a social or fun activity. For instance, visit when the residents are playing bingo. Your children will easily interact with the residents, and both the residents and your children will have a good time.
