Toy drives
Numerous local groups and businesses organize fundraisers to ensure every child in the community gets a present at Christmas. In some cases, you might be matched with a kid so you can use information about their age and interests to buy a personalized gift.

Gift wrapping
Look for kiosks where volunteers will expertly wrap your gifts in exchange for a donation to a local cause. This is a great way to give back to your community and check a task off your holiday to-do list.

Food baskets
Many organizations collect non-perishable items to support low-income families during the holiday season. As a volunteer you can help sort donations, pack boxes or deliver baskets. Alternatively, you can make a donation to your local food bank.
