Today
is the 22nd Family Volunteer Day created by
GenerationOn / Points of Light. A day of service to others is supposed to kick off the holiday season
in the best possible way.
Volunteering
is amazing and often life-changing, but volunteering as a family can
be full-out fun. We are urged to gather even extended family, such as
grandparents and cousins, to clean up a park or make cards for
children in the hospital or...well, there are thousands of worthwhile
things to do.
According
to the GenerationOn website, it's tough to send much-needed supplies
to the Philippines right now because roads and airports have been
destroyed. Instead, we can help by raising money and then sending one
big donation to an organization that is already there in the
Philippines, helping people.
Check
the Philippines Typhoon page for instructions about creating a
Dimes for Disaster project.
The three recommended charities, which give 90% of its donations
directly to the people in need, are Care, Save the Children, and
UNICEF.
