WAYS TO GIVE BACK
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
(StatePoint) When making this year’s holiday
gift list, consider how you might also give back to
your local community. The holiday season is the
perfect time of year to do this, when volunteer
and donation opportunities increase. Here are a
few ideas to give back in your community:
The Gift of Literacy
Only one-third of all students entering high
school are proficient in reading, according to
a National Assessment of Education Progress
report. Brighten children’s smiles this holiday
season while also giving them an opportunity
to succeed at school and beyond. The Marine
Toys for Tots Foundation has given new toys
to children in need for more than 60 years. The
organization also extends its reach through a
partnership with The UPS Store through the
Toys for Tots Literacy Program, which provides
economically disadvantaged children an
opportunity to succeed in school and beyond.
Donations can be made at The UPS Store
locations nationwide or online at toysfortots.
org/literacy.
One-hundred percent of all proceeds go to
support local children and literacy programs.
Your donations go even further thanks to
the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which
is able to purchase books at a deep discount.
To find a participating location near you
and make a donation that will help ensure
families everywhere have access to books, visit
theupsstore.com.
Bake Sale
When you’re busy making trays of cookies for
your big holiday party, consider making an
extra batch or two, and encouraging friends and
neighbors to do the same. With your combined
efforts, you can host a bake sale, which can be a
lucrative and enjoyable way to raise money for
your favorite charity.
If you don’t have time to organize an event like
this, you can still give back through your baking.
Wrap packs of cookies or other goodies in bags
as thank you gifts to your children’s teachers,
coaches and others in your community who
have served or been kind to your family all year.
Volunteer Your Time
One of the best ways to give back is by donating
your valuable time. Make a trip to a local
nursing home and spend time with residents
who may not have family or anyone else to visit
them this season. Additionally, soup kitchens
are often in need of extra hands during the
holidays. Ask your local organizations about
volunteer opportunities.
While holiday wish lists are often full of fun
gadgets, clothes and toys, there are still many in
your community lacking more basic necessities.
This season, think beyond your personal wants
and do your best to give back.
THE REEL DEAL:
by Ben Show
THE 33 REVIEW
Generally, I try to stay away from films with faith
as a strong central theme; however, I remembered
hearing about the Chilean miners and,
while I knew about what was going on, I did not
know the details of the story. So, when I sat down
to watch ‘The 33’, I had some very mixed feelings
about what would be the main focus of the film:
faith or the story of the miners?
In 2010, a Chilean gold mine collapsed, trapping 33 miners down
several thousand feet below the surface of the Earth. When the mining
company looked as if it was going to do nothing about it, the families
of miners took a stand and forced them into action. What ensued was
a massive, international effort to reduce the men.
This is not a typical movie that centers on religion. There are religious
aspects, yes, but they are presented in a very realistic way: faith,
accompanied by hard work from all sides, can get you anywhere or out
of any situation. The miners and their families did not simply sit there
and pray for a miracle; they worked hard and kept their faith. ‘The
33’ holds a very powerful message of faith, especially for the modern
world; it is definitely a film worth seeing, whether you are religious or
not.
