"Whatever you are, be a good one."
---Abraham Lincoln
Today I baked for the high school teacher holiday goody bag effort, and will probably do something similar over the weekend. I was supposed to do a gift-wrapping project through MoverMoms, which was being done on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a wonderful organization.
But there was a good problem -- too many volunteers signed up, so I was not needed and instead did some writing work and was able to meet a deadline. Thus my fallback activity was baking, as it seems to be (or else cooking) when I don't have another project lined up. I guess we're all good at different ways of giving, and we must tap into those whenever we can. I love to cook and bake so I turn to that activity. I also seem to be able to find lots of stuff around my house that can and should be given away to good causes but due to inertia or laziness on my part just stays put till I have incentive to do a one person or group collection drive!
Bottom line: do what you enjoy and are good at when it comes to community service, and you will not burn out or lack for ideas!
