Holiday season is here. Whether your office marks the holidays with
big, formal affairs or smaller, in-house celebrations, you can enrich the
experience for everyone with one simple addition: a collection.
You don’t have to look far to find
someone in need, whether it be physical, emotional, or congratulatory. Students, families, volunteers, even
neighborhood businesses and organizations could benefit from the charity of
your employees.
Is your office located near a
school? Ask employees to arrive at your
holiday celebration with a new pair of gloves or a hat.
Does your organization employ or
support members of the military? Set up
a card station at which guests can write a note of season’s greetings and
appreciation to be sent to local veterans or to those serving overseas.
Want to help others make sure they
have a full or festive meal on their tables?
Collect holiday-meal-specific or general-need non-perishable food items
to take to your local food bank.
Your office’s efforts are limited
only by your imagination. You could collect
books or games for retirement communities or senior centers. Go old-school and carol for your business
and/or residential neighbors. Raise
money for a local family who has experienced a recent trauma. Organize a blood drive.
Banding together for a unified,
non-business goal will not only create a better sense of community within your
organization, but it will also make the holidays a little merrier and brighter
for everyone.
