In our family, we love this time of year! It’s the time of year where we are beginning to plan for the approaching holidays! I love seeing individuals and companies reaching out to help others. I love helping others as well! ‘Tis the season to spread good cheer, right?
Every year, Franz Family Bakery gives back to the community with the Spirit of Giving charitable campaign. Throughout the month of November, (November 1st – November 28th), Franz accepts nominations for 50 families in need to receive $500 along with Franz food products (including a year supply of Franz bread) to help make their lives a little more special during the holiday season.
About the Spirit of Giving
There’s no better feeling than helping out a neighbor in need. Tell Franz about the well-deserving people, families or organizations that have touched your life over the years. Franz will choose 40 of the nominees to receive $500 and a year’s supply of bread to help make their lives a little more special this holiday season. Nominations can be submitted at Franz Family Bakery online. If your nominee is selected you will also receive a one-year supply of Franz bread!

donating toys to needy and pet food to the local shelter
By donating food and clothes
During this time of year, we like to get extra items as we do our grocery shopping & leave them in the bin the grocery sets up for the local Food Pantry (which puts together Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner boxes for needy families.) At Christmas, local stores put up ‘Angel Trees’ & you can pick off an angel with the name of a child & items on their wish list. You shop for them & leave the items at the service desk for the Angel Tree people to pick up. (I like to pick an older kid, since everyone seems to pick the young ones.)
Not sure if you need me to leave this info here, but just in case: I commented on this post, Getting Our Oil Changed with the Pennzoil Summer Rollback at Walmart.

I am going to participate in the Spirit of Giving through my civic club. Each member donates gifts to a local charity and share funds we have raised with others in need.
I participate in the Spirit of Giving by donating clothing and food to our local shelters/pantry.
I participate by donating things we no longer need. We donate old towels to Cats Exclusive which is a non-profit clinic with a no kill adoption center for cats. Every few months I take a box of books to the hospital since our library will no longer accept donations. Our hospital lobby has bookshelves where people can donate used books and patients/visitors can buy them for 25 cents for paperback or 50 cents for hardcover. The hospital takes a profit to buy machines and people who are stuck there have a wide variety of reading material to choose from. I also have a few bags of clothes and toys to donate soon.
We donate to our favorite charities.
We donate food and toys to our local shelter.
I volunteer to the special Olympics.
I volunteer at our local soup kitchen, homeless shelter and always adopt a family from the Angel Christmas Tree.
We donate canned goods to our local food bank.
I take treats to the elderly people in my neighborhood.
I like to donate my extra stuff to those less fortunate. Thankyou
I donate to the food pantry in my area and I also watch the boards on Facebook, for free stuff, a lot of people that need help post on them and I help as much as I can.
We will be donating to Goodwill this winter.
My hubby and I both take our clothes we no longer can wear or don’t wear to the local shelter and we make food donations once a month to the local food pantry.
Our local Girl Scout troops adopt a needy family and donate food and gifts to make their holiday a bit brighter. It makes a big difference in the way the girls look at the holiday too.
My daughter and I donate to those that are in need and we also volunteer in gift/food drives.
