How Can I Help? Give The Gift of Time<br />
You don’t need us to tell you that times are hard.<br />
The economy is not good, people are out of work<br />
and many of them are lonely or depressed. You<br />
might be thinking “So what? I’ve got it rough too.”<br />
That may be true, but even if you can’t contribute<br />
<br />
can give the gift of -- your time.<br />
<strong>OKIE</strong> would like to share some ideas for ways<br />
that you can help without giving money.<br />
Volunteer! There are many local organizations<br />
<br />
Food Bank, Mobile Meals, local hospitals,<br />
churches, and civic organizations are always<br />
looking for someone who can lend a helping<br />
hand.<br />
Spend a day helping a senior citizen or<br />
someone less fortunate by doing household<br />
chores and minor home repairs for them. Often<br />
a simple task like changing a lightbulb can be<br />
too much for an elderly or disabled person.<br />
Spend a few hours with an elderly person<br />
or hospice patient. They would welcome a<br />
friendly face, a pat on the hand and someone<br />
to talk to. They would enjoy you lending an ear<br />
while they share thoughts and memories.<br />
Grab the kids and spend an hour or two at a<br />
nearby park or creek picking up trash. This is<br />
easy to do, teaches the kids about helping out,<br />
and is great exercise.<br />
We don’t all have a lot to give, but giving what<br />
you can may just touch many more lives than you<br />
thought possible.<br />
