How to help struggling families for the holidays

Have you ever wondered how to help struggling families who cannot afford gifts for children and loved ones for the holidays?  

There are so many ways to help families this holiday season and many options to spend your cash on to make Christmas special for people struggling financially. You can donate to your nearest kitchen or pantry to help get food, to help support people and families that do not have the money to get food, and this would at least let them not go hungry for the holidays. Gifts for the holidays are a thing that everyone deserves, and everyone should be able to eat so it helps a lot the donations to foundations gifting food to people who need it. You can also help financially struggling and homeless people by donating clothes, bedding, kid’s toys, books, and hygiene products to nonprofit organizations to help people in need. These organizations are non-profits which means no money goes to the organization only to getting gifts and the families that need the money. 

I asked my parents what the best way to help these families was they said “we feel the best places to donate are angel trees or toys for tots” these are non-profits that help gift presents to kids that cannot get gifts for Christmas. I also asked them why they decided to donate to these non-profits for the holidays they said, “if we have the funds to help, we are going to, everyone deserves to have a happy Christmas.” 

Those are just some options for helping this holiday season. Whatever way you want to help helps people who need it. Christmas is a time for cheer and joy for every family.
