Thanksgiving has just passed and the December holiday season has already begun. Charities and hunger relief organizations see a massive influx of donations and volunteering during these holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Unfortunately, the rest of the year, these same organizations usually need much more volunteering and donations, especially the volunteering because extra money can be saved.
Whether or not you choose to volunteer or donate during the holidays, I suggest you make a promise to yourself to donate or volunteer another time during the year. Maybe choose a random day way off from the holidays and write it in your calender as a day to volunteer.
At the risk of sounding like a slogan, let me point out that the needy are not just needy during the holidays.
