If you don’t already have one, it’s easy to put together: Choose a set number of good deeds to accomplish (think: writing to a senior pen pal, organizing a rainbow hunt, or filling all the parking meters on a busy street) this month and write each one down and place it in a numbered envelope. Then, choose one activity to do each day. Plus, once you create the numbered envelopes, you’ll be ready to go again come December 1. We recommend calling the organizations in your area and asking what their current needs are and how you can help from home. You can also contact local senior centers to see if you can drop off summer Christmas in July cards for the residents there. A sweet encouraging note on a festive holiday card is sure to brighten anyone’s day.
