It is important to remember to spread kindness in your communities, not just during the holidays but every day. It doesn’t always take a lot of work to make a difference! There are a few simple ways to help your community.

IntelliSource believes that lending a helping hand can make all the difference in our world.

Donate Clothes, Groceries, and More

Food, clothes, toiletries, and even medicine are not always readily available for everyone who needs it. You can help by donating essential resources to your local non-profit organizations. Search on the internet to find which local charities are still running and need help. From donating food to giving time to your local shelters, these are all essential ways to assist your fellow human beings in a time of need.

Help Your Older Family, Neighbors, and Friends

Many of the more mature in your family friends, and neighbors may need assistance with everyday tasks. Getting groceries, running errands, or even simple tasks within their homes. You can also help by calling them or spending time with them and bringing positivity into their environments. Sometimes, having someone to talk to is all you need! Overall, just showing someone that you will be there for them will go a long way in helping them in the end.

Support Local Businesses

Shop locally and visit those mom-and-pop stores whenever you can. Your support can make a huge difference, especially in this post-covid era. Order out using a delivery service, or even do a curbside pickup for your favorite restaurants. When you support your local community businesses, you contribute to keeping people employed and keep their companies thriving.

Be Kind and Understanding

One thing that helps everyone and doesn’t cost a dime is an increase in kindness and understanding for everyone you meet. Be mindful and understanding that everyone’s situation is different. You never know what someone is going through personally. Here is a list of random acts of kindness you can do that will brighten someone’s day. Approach everyone with the understanding that things in this world are affected by everyone, and you can be a positive influence in an otherwise chaotic time in the world.

You can be a ray of positivity in your community by getting involved and assisting where you can. It doesn’t take a million dollars to change someone’s day, just effort!
