Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I’m still rounding up stray pine needles stuck in the rug and eating the few remaining arms and legs of broken gingerbread men. I really don’t need a tempting box of fancy chocolates or a lavish prix-fixe meal out on the town.
Here are five ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day With Meaning
- Instead of going out to dinner, stay in and cook a special meal for your loved ones. Consider donating the money you saved to a community meal program.
- Rather than a buying a bouquet of flowers, give to a community garden. Your donation will continue to give back as the months go by; those flowers will droop in just a few days.
- Instead of a romantic weekend away, a donation can help people find a caring place to sleep or during the harsh winter nights.
- Set a wonderful example for your kids, showing them ways to embrace others. Ask them to help you pick a need that your donation can fill.
- Help someone in your own neighborhood. You may discover that a senior living near by needs a lift to the doctor or help getting groceries.
