In summary, during the holiday season, there are many opportunities to give back and help those in need. One option is to donate to Toys For Tots, an organization that provides toys for children in need. Another option is Angel Tree, which supports children of prison inmates by providing them with Christmas gifts. Both of these programs offer a way to spread kindness and generosity during a time of year that can be difficult for some.

Toys For Tots! Any other good ideas?

Its that time of the year again...time to be nice to those less fortunate. You can start by scraping together some cash, and donating to http://www.toysfortots.org/2002/ [Broken]! You can send money, or donate toys for your community.

Feel free to post other good holiday giving opportunities here.

Another worthwhile organization in my area is called "Angel Tree". They arrange for children of prison inmates to receive Christmas gifts.

This program helps out an often overlooked victim of crime: the children of the criminal.

I've participated in this program several years and every year I am amazed at what the kids ask for. Stuff like, socks, a sweater, a pair of gloves, a coloring book... Not the greedy, what-can-I-get, what's-the-latest-popular-toy type of gifts asked for by most kids. I always get the child a toy of some sort to go with their socks or whatever else.

I think this is a website for them:

Thank you for bringing attention to such a wonderful organization! In addition to donating to Toys For Tots, there are many other ways to give back during the holiday season. Some ideas could include volunteering at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter, donating to a food bank, or participating in a giving tree program. Another idea could be to organize a holiday gift drive for a specific group in need, such as children in foster care or seniors in assisted living facilities. Giving back to our communities is a great way to spread joy and kindness during the holiday season.
