The holiday season is a time for giving, and what better way to give back than by supporting individuals and families in need? Here are 5 meaningful ways you can give back to your community this Christmas:
1. Double Your Impact. Thanks to our Matching Challenge, every gift given by December 31 will go twice as far in helping twice as many neighbors. By donating to this challenge, you can make a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.
2. Join the Community. Consider joining The Community, our monthly donor program. This program allows you to faithfully walk alongside your neighbors in need every step of the way. By giving monthly, you can make a consistent impact in the lives of our neighbors in need.
3. Honor a Loved One. Want to give a Christmas gift with special meaning? Make a donation to MTM in honor or memory of a loved one. This is a meaningful way to give back this season while also honoring someone special in your life.
4. Get Plugged into a Volunteer Opportunity. At MTM, we offer a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the year. This Christmas season, consider volunteering your time to demonstrate compassion to individuals and families in need. Whether it’s serving meals, sorting in-kind donations, or helping with administrative tasks, every little bit helps.
5. Donate to the Code Blue Drive. As the temperature drops in Michigan, it’s important to remember individuals and families who lack shelter and the proper winter clothing to protect themselves. The Code Blue Drive provides warm clothing and winter gear to those in need during the winter months. By donating to this drive, you can help ensure that everyone stays warm and safe this winter. Code Blue Barrels are located throughout the Greater Grand Rapids area. For a list of locations, click here.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need this Christmas. Thank you for demonstrating the compassion of Jesus!
