Gifts for Grannies!

Make simple card or crafts or treats for the elderly in your community. Bring them to the assisted living center in your neighborhood or to an elderly friend.

Letters to the Troops

Is there someone you know who is serving in the military? Send them a letter and even a sweet treat and let them know that you are thinking about them and that you are so grateful for their efforts at keeping our country safe.

Toys for Tots (and clothes!)

It’s that time of year again! -Time to go through the closest, boxes, baskets, and shelves and find any unused toys. Donate them to families in need or take them to your local homeless shelter.

Soup for the Sick

I’m sure you can think of at least one person right now who is sick. It is, in fact, flu season. Spend the afternoon baking rolls and brewing up some stew and then bring it to a sick friend. While you’re at it, make some brownies and keep half for your family!
