Ways to give back this holiday season

Here are three easy ways that you can give back this holiday season:

1. Participate in a fundraiser event. Many nonprofits will host events this time of year. Whether it’s a 5K or fancy dinner, find one you’ll enjoy and sign up to attend.

2. Donate goods or money. Get creative! Donate holiday food to the local food bank, search your house for lightly used clothes and toys to donate or pick a charity and give a monetary donation.

3.  Give back with your time (it’s free). Write letters to a nursing home or hospital to spread cheer or volunteer at a nonprofit.
