Step 1
Watch your local news. It's unfortunate that home burglaries and house fires are prevalent during the holidays. You can help the victims recover by sponsoring the family during Christmas.
-
Step 2
Think about the people you know. Most of us have family members who are struggling to meet their monthly obligations. You can choose to help a family member make Christmas more joyful this year.
-
Step 3
Talk to your local clergy. They know about the personal situations of members of their congregation and may be able to help you adopt a family for Christmas.
-
Step 4
Contact your local faith-based schools. Most require their students to participate in sponsoring families during the holidays, and they may have more families than they can provide for.
-
Step 5
Look around your workplace. Most likely, some of your coworkers are single parents, or have a spouse overseas. Share your blessings this Christmas with families who may not feel blessed.
-
Step 6
Shop for a family that lives in a homeless shelter. Pick up heavy clothing, coats, boots, gloves and hats to help them deal with the harsh winter weather conditions. Give kids a small stuffed toy they can cuddle and carry with them easily.
-
Step 7
Visit the local hospital to find families who are struggling to handle Christmas and medical bills. Help them celebrate a happy holiday with their ill family member.
