This time of year can get a bit crazy and we all can lose a bit of the holiday spirit. Between things being out of stock, rushing around in traffic, and the overall hectic nature. I think it is incredibly important to take a step back, and to teach our children about giving.
Each year, I take my kids to a store to pick out a toy to donate for another child. Then we go to a drop off location and send it on its way to a little boy or girl that could really use it this year.
I have compiled a list of places that are accepting donations for you to drop off. Please consider giving your child the gift of kindness this year!
