Giving Back to the Community
Abbey Horan
Ideas of how to give back:
2. Shop at a new small business in your area every couple of days. They need help getting their feet off the ground.
3. Find a homeless shelter and volunteer there. You'd be surprised how many amazing people with insane stories worth hearing that you could find.
4. Donate to charities and foundations that go to helping your community.
5. Donate clothes and food to shelters and pantries.
6. Plant some trees at your local park. Pick up the trash while you're there.
7. Big brothers, big sisters
8. Help at libraries or schools.
