Who Needs Your Donation At Christmas? Our 3rd Kindness Mountain

Instead of creating an elaborate holiday gift guide the last three Christmas’ I have focused my time and energy on the giving side of the holidays. Joining forces with brands and my favorite PR firms along with shopping with my children to create our very own Kindness Mountain to help those in need in our community.

Who Needs Your Donation At Christmas? 

With the holiday’s here there is a need in every community for new toys and gift items for families in need. These families may have stumbled on tough times due to illness, job cuts or whatever bump in the road life has thrown at them.

Asking for help is tough. It chokes your pride and can wear down your self-esteem.

They maybe your neighbors, or even your friends. They don’t wear labels, and they aren’t announcing on their Facebook the status of the hard times they are facing. Behind closed doors, they are looking for help at the local food bank or Community Care Center. Trying to make ends meet to support their family.   

Especially this time of year, your donations, your volunteer hours are exactly what your community needs. 

No one wants to be taking “handouts” because at this moment in time they are walking down a bumpy road. But when we are ‘stuck in a sticky situation’ the need to feel Hope and have Faith is what reminds us to keep our chins up high. 

That is why this campaign – our Kindness Mountain each year touches my heart. Knowing that our dream to spread Hope is reaching the faces of little Children on Christmas morning.

“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” ~ Scott Adams

Because of all the toys, food and monetary donations your communities receive, on Christmas morning a child will wake up and believe in the magic of the season. Their parents will rest their head with HOPE on Christmas Eve.
