In reply to KentuckyCooking. That's really a lovely way to keep giving and to nurture giving back with your child.

In reply to Debra Rutt. Debra: we love angel trees also. The personal nature of picking a name of a specific child really speaks to my kids.

In reply to Amiyrah Martin. This is good information to have Amiyrah. I didn't know some food banks don't let kids volunteer. It makes sense though.

Great ideas! I’ve done Operation Christmas Child since I was in college and it’s one of my favorite ways to give back during the holidays. I love that I can now take my daughter with me to help pick out little treats for our boxes 🙂

Great ideas. I especially like the one about visiting nursing homes I’ve done that and its so rewarding.

These are great tips. At both our church and at my kids school they have giving trees that they pick out and select the gifts and help wrap. We also take them food shopping with us to buy supplies for our local food pantry – they help bring the bags in. My kids are both young, but I want them to know and be responsible about helping others.

I just visited our local food bank to ask when they let children volunteer (some food banks don’t allow kids to help). The Sunday before Christmas, we’ll be down there helping to send food to families in need on Christmas day.

In reply to Christy Garrett. Thanks Christy. They are mostly easy things to do.
