What Have YOU Done for Others This Year???

My husband said all he wants for Christmas - every year - is a list of what each member of our family has done for others. It can be as simple as letting a mom with a baby go ahead of you in a grocery line, or as time consuming as committing to spend a specific amount of time volunteering at a local charity. It doesn't have to be time spent, it can be money you've saved up for a particular charity. My list turned out longer than I originally thought it would be. Sometimes we don't think we're doing anything, but when we make a list, we realize that we have helped others without realizing it. Try it.

Hopefully you'll be inspired to do more.

Why Serve?

The Buck Institute for Age Research reports that people who serve... - even once a month - have a 44% lower risk of a major disease than those who don't. That's the same protection you'd get by exercising four times a week!

You'll get the same life-lengthening benefits by donating a few cans of food or a box of gently used clothing. You can also give back, without spending a cent, by clicking on sites where advertisers make a donation in return:

Give Back Without Spending a Cent:
