Halloween:
Invite your residents and residents in other dorms to express there
creativity through pumpkin carving. Donate your carved pumpkins
to a local elementary school or preschool. The expressions on
the faces of the children are priceless (even if your pumpkin wasn't
exactly a work of art).
Thanksgiving
Many of our residents are unable to go back home for Thanksgiving.
Instead of leaving them alone for the holidays we invite them to share
their Thanksgiving dinner with the homeless by volunteering at a local
soup kitchen.
Christmas
Have a Gingerbread cookie decorating party (with a little bit of
Christmas music to set the mood). Gift wrap all of the cookies
and donate them to a local elementary school kindergarten class or day
care.
