    These are all really great. I also like to help with toiletry supply drives, as toiletries are really hard to come by for those without a permanent residence. Our local high school does one around the holidays for high school kids who are homeless.

      Oh, I like that one too. The students at school donate socks for their 4H clubs to help out.

    All good. If we all did a little something - wouldn't it be nice? :)

    I like to make sure personal supplies are part of my donations. I think how hard would it be to be without as a woman. I also try and think of gifts for teens and young adults beyond toys at Christmas. Your list warms my heart .

      That is such a terrific idea, Sam. I’ve read about people who buy $5 McDonalds gift cards to hand out in with a baggie of personal items. I’ve always wanted to do that, but haven’t yet.

    I gave supplies to students when I was in schools and around students, teaching or tutoring. Now, I give less school supplies. But, I share food with people who cannot get to the giveaways. I tutored for free, gave people rides. You have a reallly good list.

    Love this! Bless your caring heart! Thank you!
    Covid has changed many things, but there are still things we can do.
    My library has a table in the entrance where people can leave books or magazines.
    Donate building supplies to the local Restore.
    Donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill.
    Sometimes I do random acts of kindness, like leave my quarter in the cart at Aldi. I know it isn't much, but might make someone smile.
    Sometimes I like to give an extra large tip. Life is hard, but maybe I can make someone's day a bit better.

      Those are such great ways of giving back, Kathy. Even little things like leaving your quarter in the Aldi cart can make someone’s day brighter. :)

    Not as much scope in my area, but I try.
    I collect donated duvets and curtains to remodel into small quilts/cushions for a local cat charity.
    I usually give toiletries and sanitary products to local food banks instead of food stuffs.
    I collect things for local charity shops.
    Not a lot but I do what I can.
