We tend to think about the needy in our communities more this time of year than any other. You could do a clothing drive, or a canned food drive and then make a donation to a local charity that caters to families in need.
A toy drive always is an appreciated service during the Christmas season. You could work with an established group like Toys-For-Tots and the United States Marine Corps. Or you could work with a local food bank (they always now about community needs). Many times local churches have an outreach program that you could tie your benefit to.
Always take the time to document both the collection and donation parts of your project in photos. You can use them later to be part of your groups scrapbook or as part of your display at your next fundraiser.
You could even consider working with a local tree lot and helping those in need buy their holiday trees for a discounted price or even free. You need to find a tree lot that will work with you during this time. You could agree to purchase the trees at the last minute and deliver them to those families that would greatly appreciate them.
Consider that your group could simply volunteer time to many of the organizations that are already providing services to those in need. Make it a group effort from your group to your community. This is a great no cost effort that can still have all the other recognition and benefits for your group.
These group efforts can also lead to other benefits for your group in the coming months when you need to raise funds. Your networking can really pay off in the long run.
