It is always important to give back to the community around you. However, this year when circumstances are uncertain and money may be stretched, it is crucial to give back. Although it is easy to be overwhelmed with our own personal struggles, we must take time to help others with theirs with the goodness in our hearts.
Here are three ways you, a group of friends, your advisor group, and even your family can give back to the Wheeling community this holiday season.
- Donate canned food items to the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling
Although distributing food is quite different due to the pandemic, the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling is as busy as ever. The service operates differently now with meals being served outside the building on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The demand for food is increasing, but there is a shortage of donations.

- Donate winter clothes items to the Salvation Army
Having a warm winter coat, hat, and gloves in the winter is something that you may take for granted. Many children and adults in the area go without this warm clothing during frigid winter days, and there can never be enough clothes to bundle up in. With different aftermaths of the pandemic, it may be even harder for some people to afford these clothes this year.

- Donate Christmas toys to the House of Carpenter
The joy of receiving a Christmas present is something all children should experience. This holiday season, it may be much harder for some families to afford presents for their children, as the cost of necessities takes precedence. The House of Carpenter accepts donations of all kinds, but during the holiday season, you cannot go wrong with toy donations.
