It is time for another Show and Tell Tuesday with Andrea. Linking up HERE
Today we are talking about how we serve others. This is a tough one to talk/write about....agreeing with Andrea, it can feel kind of braggy...but I thought I would share just a few ways that we give back as a family in hopes of inspiring someone else...the way you always inspire me to do more good.
Here goes nothing.....
Making Meals
I love cooking for others...whether it is a family in mourning...for a patient going through chemo treatments or a friend who could just use a little pick me up, this is my/our favorite way to show our love and support. To that end, you will find us making meals for people not only at the holidays but all year long and more often than not, there is a Chicken, Ziti and Broccoli involved :)
Windham Helping Hands
We are incredibly fortunate to have this amazing group in town. It is a non-profit organization that was started several years ago to help those in need within our very own community. We get involved as much as we can each year. We help to sort backpacks and supplies before each school year for those children in need. We make meals for families affected by fires and other home damage. We donate gifts at the holidays and make sure we hit some wish list items so every child in our town has a Merry Christmas. We have also participated in the Annual Walkathon that raises money for the hungry. What I love about this organization is that we can get involved as a family and show our girls how important it is to think of others.
Our Church
We love our church, St. Matthews in Windham. They offer many ways for us to get involved and give back. Our favorite thing to do is participate in the Giving Tree each Christmas Season. We pick a mitten off the tree and choose a family with different needs. We help to get their wish list items whether it is a toy or game or even a warm winter coat. The girls get so excited to pick the mitten off the tree each year.
That's just a snippet of ways we give back...there is so much more we can do....and I am looking forward to the end of cheer season so I can dedicate more time helping those in need...Can't wait to see all the ways you give back...love being inspired by all of your kindness.

How amazing to have an organization such as Wyndam in your town. It's hard to share without feeling like you are bragging but I feel like there are so many others out there looking for ways to serve and they just don't know how to get started.

Love your involvement with the Wyndam organization and the fact that your kids can get involved too!
Love all of the things you are doing Holly! I was just talking to the kids about things we can do to help others. This weekend we are packing up meals for our church for a large organization that sends food overseas. It is so important to get the kids involved in these opportunities to serve others.
Love that you have a servant heart, helping others in need!
