Do people truly give back more during the holiday season? Is it true that people are more willing to give back and be benevolent as a part of the holiday spirit? A closer look was taken into the topic. In our community, the evidence of the spirit of giving and sharing with the less fortunate is seen all the year around. Many people give back on a regular basis. Whether it’s donating outgrown clothing, or turning in cans to feed the poor, people always give a small bit to their community. Many donation trucks are scattered around Richmond. The most common truck seen is the Goodwill Truck. Many cars line up, and one by one, take out trash bags full of household items that are not of use to them anymore.
Sometimes, people living in communities even manage to give back in tiny, little ways. Even still, a little goes a long way. Many will set up donation boxes around the community at offices, parks, restaurants, recreation offices, schools, and many other areas, where small donations are given. Many fundraisers pop up around the holiday time. In addition, not only do people help those in need by donating old, used items, but also many people give some extra cash to those outside such as Salvation Army volunteers, working for some extra money by playing an instrument, or singing holiday songs.
When people think of the holidays, they think of spending time with ones they love the most and buying them small gifts as demonstration of their love. Unfortunately, the poor and needy families don’t have the luxury of taking time off or spending money on superfluous items such as gifts. Many charity programs such as Christmas Mother recognize this fact and help needy mothers and families enjoy the spirit of the holidays by contributing toys, clothes and books as gifts to make a child’s Christmas dreams come true. It is believed that the holiday time is supposed to be a magical, happy, and prosperous time for everyone, and with the communities’ help.
