Ideas for Volunteering & Giving Back During the Holidays in Pleasanton CA

Thinking of volunteering and giving back during the holidays? Here are some ideas to get you started right here in Pleasanton, CA!

Aren’t the holidays a great time of year? Everyone gets festive, businesses decorate to get in the spirit, friends and family gather, and there’s delicious food at every turn. All of the fun of the season is awesome, but it should never detract from the spirit of giving that covers over this time of year.

If you want to get in the spirit of the season, here are some easy ideas for volunteering and giving back during the holidays right here in Pleasanton, CA!

  • Every time you visit the grocery store, grab a couple cans of food. Every couple of weeks, take the cans to the food bank and you can make a big difference for very little money this holiday season.
  • You’re going to need to make room in your house for your holiday gifts/décor anyway, so why not clean out your belongings? Give extra coats, shoes, and blankets to your local homeless shelter.
  • When you’re eating out or grabbing coffee, consider leaving a larger-than-normal tip if you can afford it.
  • If you’re doing some holiday baking, double your batch. You can drop the extra sweets off at your local senior home, soup kitchen, or police station.
  • Donate blood. With the busyness of the holiday season, there are fewer donations, but you can help make up the gap.
  • Take toys, dog food, or blankets to your local animal shelter. Stick around and share some love!
