12 Days of Service

Welcome to December! Doesn't December just feel like the most magical month? It always does for me. Instead of a specific charity for Charity of the Month my goal this month is to complete 12 random acts of service. I don't have the money to give to a charity right now, but I have an able body that is able to do things for other people.

This month I want to challenge you to complete 12 acts of service as well. We'll call it the 12 Days of Service. Please Tweet about it with #12daysofservice so we can see everything that people do to help others this month or leave a comment on this post. You can also talk about service that others have given to you!

Examples of Service:

• Clean up a neighbor's yard
• Clean your parents/kids bedroom
• Make goodies to give to neighbors
• Write someone a thank you note
• Write a letter to a friend or relative
• Make a meal for someone
• Shovel snow/rake leave/mow the lawn for your neighbors
• Offer to babysit
• Give away old clothes or toys to someone in need
• Run errands for someone unable to do it themselves
• Drive someone to their destination
• Send stuffed animals to the hospital
• Make homemade greetings cards for others in the community
• Visit a retirement home and hang out with the elderly
• Pick up garbage you find on the ground
• Write letters to soldiers
• Organize a bake sale to raise money for a cause
• Help at a soup kitchen
• Volunteer your time with others
• Help neighbors repair their homes
• Reddit Gifts Secret Santa 
• Toys for Tots
