2. Thanksgiving Basket- 2 Hours
This past week, I donated a basket of food to a family in need for the holiday. I spent hours at Walmart with my mom picking out non-perishable food items and a basket until we were finally finished. Though it took a lot of time and a sizable amount of cash, it felt good to know that we would be providing someone with a Thanksgiving meal. My favorite part of the trip was deciding to buy them reusable plastic plates instead of disposable paper plates and real cups instead of paper cups. It made me feel good to know that several items in our basket were things that would stay with them long after the holiday. This way, they will remember us in the future as the people that provided them with a Thanksgiving celebration. I do this basket with my family every year, and it is always a rewarding experience. We usually get a thank-you note from the family, which makes it that much more heartwarming. To know they are appreciative makes it an even more enjoyable experience. I have developed a personal attachment to this cause and look forward to doing it for many years to come.
