My friend had fast food for Thanksgiving, can you help me make Christmas a little brighter? It's very easy to help a neighbor who is lonely and has no family nearby. How would you help? Take them to the store when you go or try shopping with a list for them, preparing and sharing a good meal when you can, or just calling for a chat when you have time. These are easy ways to do a good deed and make a difference in the community. This opportunity is designed for someone with a lot of compassion, a good amount of energy and a smidge of free time. No need to do more than an hour or two per week to make a difference here! And, it will matter
