If you are looking for other ideas on how to serve locals this Christmas, here are a few:

• Partner with the local CPS offices to provide care bags for families.
• Help with small home/care projects for elderly citizens, single mothers or people who are disabled around you. (Ex: mowing their lawn, painting, oil changes, washing car, etc.).
• You can serve our First Responders by making handwritten cards and appreciation bags or giving out gift cards.
• Bringing gift cards or other necessities to families in the NICU.
• Partnering with a local school to stock/clean their teacher's lounge, stock/clean locker rooms, plant flower beds, etc.
• Partnering with the city on clan-up projects.
