‘Tis the Season

Want to make a difference? Giving back to those less fortunate is always an opportunity for you to lend a hand. Whether you’re a student or a university employee, there are many ways you can bring joy to someone this holiday season.

The Green Bay community has a handful of non-profit orgs aiming to help both families and individuals during the holidays. And they need all the help they can get – BiG, or small: 10 for You to Consider:

1. Donate to UWGB Campus Cupboard and Clothes Closet.
2. Volunteer at a non-profit organization such as:
   ⦁ The Salvation Army
   ⦁ Paul’s Pantry
   ⦁ The Freedom House
   ⦁ The Humane Society
   ⦁ Children’s Hospital
   ⦁ Green Bay Botanical Garden Light Show
   ⦁ Mauthe Center
   ⦁ Einstein Project, Inc.
3. Caroling in nursing homes or hospitals.
4. Foster an animal from a shelter
5. Bake cookies for homeless shelters.
6. Become an ELS mentor at Literacy Green Bay.
7. Knit and donate blankets/hats/gloves to families in need.

Even small efforts can have a BiG impact – especially for families who receive all the love and joy from those willing to help. Consider giving back: Go BiG – or go small = It all works!  Happy Holidays!
