Tis’ the season to give, give, give! We truly try our best to give back in every way that we can throughout the year but around Christmas we really try to make a difference. Whether it be a local charity, a worldwide organization or simply someone we know less fortunate we try to instill the season of giving into our family. I wanted to share some of our favorite charities to give to around the holidays!
Toys for Tots
We usually buy some toys and make a donation at our local mall!
South Plains Food Bank
We do monetary donations to South Plains Food Bank so that other families less fortunate can have a special holiday meal or even just a meal for that matter!
Local Chruches
We just recently donated 3 large bags of toys/clothes to a church looking to bless a family in need! I let Greleigh help me go through her stuff and even though some of it she was hesitant to let go I explained the meaning behind giving and she was able to feel better about letting her stuff go!
The Salvation Army Angel Tree
We try to do this every year! I usually pick out one angel for each child and we go shopping for them! It truly feels so good knowing you are making someone’s child feel special on Christmas morning when maybe their parents are gone, not able to purchase gifts, etc! I just wish I could see their sweet little faces!

Aside from those actual charities we love to just pay it forward during the holidays! Even if it’s simply paying for someones starbucks, buying an elderly couple a meal at a restaurant, giving out blessing bags to the homeless etc! There are so many ways you & your family can help out this season and it truly brings more meaning when you are spreading love & kindness! Merry Christmas Y’all!
