Are you at a loss for what to do? How about taking part in a Reverse Advent Calendar?!?!?! Each day add an item to a box, at the end bring it to a food pantry. Start now and have it done for Thanksgiving, and if your feeling spry...do one for Christmas also!!

What an amazing opportunity to get the kids involved

"I'm sure I'm not the only one who goes crazy from their kids asking for every single thing they see in a grocery store. I tell them no lots, but I think naturally kids just see and ask. Well, to distract them from this I started letting them pick out one can for the food bank - any can they choose - every time we go to the store, and they love it!
They put so much thought into what can, they carry the can to the till, hand it to the cashier, and then put it in the food bank bin. My daughter likes to explain to people what the food bank is for. We have done this for our last five trips to the store and not once have they asked for something! And they are helping the food bank in the process.
I know this won't last forever, but if anyone has a 2 or 4-year-olds like me, I recommend trying it! Maybe when they get older I can turn it into a challenge (find a can that starts with the letter 'c' or find a vegetable)."
