What charities do you support with your children (or students) over the holidays? Do you give money or volunteer? I know there are a lot of unique ways to give and I'd like to hear some ideas.
In years past I've asked my boys to pick a charity and make a donation (with their own money). One has picked the Children's Cancer Research Fund and the other has picked The SmileTrain. I've had them fill out the envelopes the checks go in with their names on it so that when return mail comes back, it is addressed to them.
My husband and I support two children at a small school in Costa Rica. We donate their tuition each year at Escuela Nueva Hoja. I've previously posted about this school here.
Other organizations I give to are: Challenge Success and the Alliance for Childhood. My husband gives to Reason Foundation and Moving Picture Institute.
There are so many opportunities to give year round, but especially at the holidays. What do you and your family do?
