Introduction
You can help a child in need by donating your time and attention to help make this holiday season extra special.

Instructions

Steps

1 Step One
Find a youngster who needs your help through your church, synagogue, local civic organizations or clubs.

2 Step Two
Find out what the child needs most and try to provide it.

3 Step Three
Donate toys, books and games to a shelter or youth-oriented group for a child who might not otherwise have any gifts this Christmas.

4 Step Four
Contact organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters and offer to serve as a mentor.

5 Step Five
Buy a book of tickets to the movies as a special treat that will last beyond the holidays.

6 Step Six
Plan an outing for a child who rarely goes out. Take him or her to somewhere fun, like "The Nutcracker," the zoo, the circus or a play.

7 Step Seven
Read to a child. Sharing a book can be deeply meaningful to you both.

8 Step Eight
Buy warm clothing, boots or a coat for the child.

9 Step Nine
Provide new school supplies, such as a book bag, sneakers or a lunch box.

10 Step Ten
Provide Christmas decorations for a child's home, such as stockings, a wreath or a small tree.

11 Step Eleven
Bake holiday cookies with a child and let him or her take them home to share with the family.

12 Step Twelve
Think of things you can do that will improve the quality of life for the child's family, such as buying food for the holidays, or giving train tickets so they can visit relatives.

Tips & Warnings
Remember to give only new items for a child to open as Christmas gifts, but donate used toys to a shelter for kids to play with.
If you spend time with a child and enjoy it, consider doing this more often.
Remember that foster children and children of single parents may especially need help this holiday season.
