have a food drive. Encourage people to donate their
favorite food items. You can even offer prizes to
individuals who donate the most!
2. Recycling Program
Starting a recycling program is a big task but a
worthwhile one. Here’s a great guide to get you
started. When you recycle, those items can be
turned into amazing things, like the Green
Guardian™ coat, made from recycled PET plastic
bottles.
3. Community Garden
A community garden is a great way to bond with
your community and provide healthy food. You may
be able to identify a sponsor to help get your garden
started. Consider making a garden just for children,
so they can learn about the process of gardening. It
is a great educational opportunity.
4. Cleanup
A community cleanup will improve the look of your
neighborhood or park and inspire people to keep the
space looking great. Hosting a potluck after is a
wonderful way to celebrate this community
achievement!
5. Blood drive
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs
blood. By hosting a blood drive, you and your
community can make a real difference. The American
Red Cross provides planning assistance, recruitment
tools, equipment, supplies, and a trained staff to
screen and collect donations safely.
6. Neighborhood Watch Group
Starting or joining a neighborhood watch group is
easy. Once you recruit as many neighbors as possible
you can contact your local law enforcement agency
to schedule a meeting to get additional information.
Holding regular meetings and events is another way
to bring your community together.
7. Give New Coats to Kids in Need
Starting an Operation Warm coat program for your
local low-income school is a great way to serve your
community. You select the school, set your
fundraising goal, and hand out the brand new coats
yourselves. This is a wonderful way to strengthen
your community ties while helping local children stay
warm.
8. Community Newsletter
Organizing a community newsletter is a fun way to
get the word out and get people involved in activities
in your neighborhood and community. Here is a
great comprehensive guide to get you started.
9. Volunteer
Volunteering is a rewarding experience that brings
people of all ages together for a good cause. Get
involved with a great organization like Habitat for
Humanity or Operation Warm.
10. Coach
Are you into sports? Do you spend most of your free
time on the field or watching your favorite team?
Become a volunteer coach or referee with a local
youth team. Your town recreation department, Boys
and Girls Club or Y is probably looking for volunteers,
and they should be so lucky to have someone with
your expertise!
