I love that you've highlighted these ideas here. <br /><br />In my small community there are always so many things to do too as we have our own local charities and homes/orphanages and even if someone volunteers for a few hours to make up some packs or to decorate for a function - every little bit really does help! <br /><br />We also hold a monthly pub quiz for various charities which are sponsored by the community (individuals or companies) and everyone who participates pays a nominal amount which includes their meal, the evening's entertainment (the quiz) and a prize (if they place). It's a lot of fun and actually getting out and doing something is oftentimes far more rewarding than simply donating, although money is obviously needed as well. ;)Di @ Book Reviews by Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021249735871126514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-86478050325304048532017-08-08T16:07:48.352-04:002017-08-08T16:07:48.352-04:00Oh, yes, absolutely, volunteering is amazing!

I donate all my books to the library and I volunteer at my school, and I donate to Goodwill several times a year.

Last year the office where I work decided to adopt a family in need for Christmas through a local charity and we all chipped in gifts from their wishlists to make sure they had a good Christmas. We even had a gift wrapping party at work so that we could wrap up all of the gifts and get them ready for 'Santa'. I really loved doing it and hope we can do it again this year.
