Show and Tell Tuesday: Serving Others Edition

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.
