Donating to your Community During the Holidays

Find out what you can do to help people in your community during the holiday season.

Find out what you can do to help people in your community during the holiday season.

 

There’s a lot to love about the holiday season. While it’s great to spend time with our loved ones and receive gifts, there may not be a more rewarding experience than putting your talents to work to help the communities you call home. CPAPCentral.com wants everyone to have a great holiday season, and offers these ideas that can help people in your community during tough times this winter.

  1. Make food and dish it out- cookies and casseroles can be great gifts this time of year. You can provide them for those who don’t have the means or are short on food, as well firefighters, police officers and other public servants.
  2. Pack stockings for the homeless- pick out some stockings and fill them with practical items. These can range from food and drink (granola bars, bottles of water, etc.) to gloves, socks and hygiene items.
  3. Donate old toys- kids’ toys and games can get pricey in a hurry. Purge your kids’ old toys to donate to families who are less fortunate.
  4. Pay a visit to a local nursing home- the holidays can be hard on elderly people living in nursing homes. A short visit or gift from a stranger could brighten their day, or even make their entire week.
  5. “Adopt” a family- there are many ways you can support families in your community, and your local food pantry would be a good place to start. Find out about families in need and support them throughout the winter, the toughest time for families in need.
  6. Donate to the food bank- winter is a difficult, and more expensive, time for many people. Oftentimes, local food banks see fewer donations during winter months, when people actually have a greater need. You can help by donating.
  7. Have family members make a donation in your name- replace one thing on your Christmas list with the wish that in lieu of a present, a donation is made in your name to the charity of your choice.

There’s no wrong way to make a donation to help the less fortunate. CPAPCentral.com encourages you to give anything you can to help out your local community. No matter how you choose to help, we wish you a happy holiday season.
