The holiday season is upon us. For most, that means a shift in schedules and priorities during the weeks leading up to Christmas.
For many people, one of those shifts is being more in tune with the needs of others, whether it is trying to find the perfect gift for that special person on your list or taking note of those who are less fortunate by giving a little extra.
One way to help others is by getting involved in stocking local food banks. These organizations and their volunteers work hard all year to meet the needs of those who are not fortunate enough to have adequate food on a regular basis.
The supplies required to provide these services seem to compound during the holidays and many people with generous hearts step up to the plate and make donations of food, money, or time to help with this very serious problem.
There are some things that can make that investment in the lives of others more beneficial for all involved, from the types of donations that are made to the way in which they are handled.
