This holiday season, reimagine what giving back can look like. Here are a few ways to make heartfelt community gestures. 1. Partner with a local animal shelter to host a “pet pantry” of donated pet food, treats and toys. 2. Organize a holiday story hour at a local library or school and read seasonal books aloud. 3. Set up a tree at a local business where community members can hang donated hats, gloves and scarves for those in need. 4. Provide moments of joy on everyday routes by leaving holiday cards or small treats for postal workers or delivery drivers. Modern Woodmen members, apply for a $200 Do-Good Grant®️ to try one of these ideas! https://www.modernwoodmen.org/do-good-grant/

Thanksgiving is about appreciating the people around you and being grateful for the things you have. Here are four ways you can help spread cheerful vibes to our community. 1. Deliver meals to seniors to bring holiday cheer. 2. Write thank-you notes for veterans, health-care workers or teachers. 3. Support a family in need by sponsoring a Thanksgiving meal. 4. Create care packages for homeless shelters or deployed troops. Members, did you know you can apply for a Do-Good Grant®️ to create one of these projects?
