Merry Christmas, youโ€™re a legend with a kind heart. I donate puppies. Yes puppies lol. I have a disability & an assistance dog so we give others the opportunity to have the same. We donate about 4 a year to people with disabilities. ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ

I make Boxwood wreaths from the many trees on my property to give to my elderly neighbors. The biggest gift for them is usually the time I spend with them upon delivery. DJ is 100! Pauline is 96 and Linda is a young'n at 82.

And Invite my friends to make their own wreath to take home with them. The wreath parties have become a holiday tradition in my neighborhood!

KC Book Beat is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Kansas Cityโ€™s local authors. We have a small but mighty team that helps our authors connect to the community. We are fully run by volunteers that have the same passion and dedication to making a difference in our community. We love ice cream too! :)

I make a donation each December to a different animal rescue in my state. This year it was a Rottweiler rescue for my late dog, Jax, who was part Rott and passed away in August.

Working with a teacher at one of our elementary schools in town, our Bunco group purchased toys, a bike, and clothes for a ten-year-old boy with a single mom and no money. One of the things he listed that he wanted? A toothbrush. I promise you he got one of those.

We give out baked goods to everyone we know. We donate to charities like Make A Wish Foundation and Saint Judeโ€™s. We do the same things all year round. We help people we know whenever we are asked for help.
