Our extended family adopts a family in need every year, we provide their Christmas or Hanukkah meal, gifts for the whole family, household supplies, pet items f they have pets, school supplies etc. The participants include my Aunt, who is the actual facilitator of this, my cousin and her family, my sister and her husband, myself and my husband, our three grown children and anyone else who decided to help. We split up the needs, use coupons to defray costs and give what we all can…it usually ends up being quite lovely, and it feels so good to help!!

There are certain things it has become tradition for us to do, but I’m always on the look-out for more. As a family that has been trying very hard not to need to fall back on charity just to cover basic needs, in the face of debilitating medical debt, for the last 7+ years — and one in which I am physically disabled and our son is neuro-disabled — I don’t have the finances to put into charitable efforts, or the time to put into volunteering, that I once did. So, I am driving to pay it forward in whatever ways I *CAN*, which were are always more of than you’d think. There are a number of pages on social networking type sites, as well as individual webpages, which serve as a place to post/search/respond to needs….and there are all kinds of needs, that get posted, which can be met in different ways. I also try to spend an hour a day (year-round, actually) browsing the local freecycle & craigslist pages, e-mailing people when I find a free offer that matches their wanted ad. We try to pick something out from Giving Tree type things, say yes when possible, when stores ask us if we’d like to donate an extra dollar / toy from their bin of stocking stuffers, and donate (again, year-round) anything not needed, and/or outgrown. I craft to make things for friends running fund-raisers. We help fill food pantries and holiday meal bags when we find great deals at the supermarket, or an unlikely shipment that’s come into a dollar store. We do a weekly sandwich-making thing run through a local church, for the area’s homeless. I help with all our son’s school and classroom events, try to offer more actively when it comes to my involvement in various special needs communities… Ok, all that’s year-round too, but I’m not really a one-season-for-paying-it-forward kind of person.
We adopt a family or two from our local church!
