GUIDE: Volunteer & Donation Opportunities this Holiday Season

By Melissa Avanzato, Assistant Editor, Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield December 1, 2016

While the holidays tend to be hectic (ok, it’s mass chaos at times!), volunteer work and charitable activities are a great opportunity for you and your family to slow down and enjoy the spirit of the season together.  It’s never too early to get your kids involved and active in the community, and the holiday season is an ideal time for these teaching moments.  Volunteerism and community service will bring your family together and help kids understand the importance of doing small things to make a big impact on those less fortunate.  

To inspire your family to help others, look no further than your own neighborhood!  We’ve compiled a list of local organizations for you and your family to either donate your time or resources this holiday season, and all throughout the year.

Please note:  If you’re an organization looking for volunteers this holiday season and you don't see your information listed already, please email us at meghanf@macaronikid.com so we can add your opportunity to our list!
