Dear Just Be: In the spirit of the holidays, how can I give back?

Though volunteering can be a year-round activity, this time of year presents unique opportunities in which we can give back to our communities and to others.

Offer to shovel the walkway for an elderly neighbor (or lay down salt on ice), visit a nursing home and spend time with the residents, offer to host a simple party at your house - you never know who might be alone or facing difficulties in their life-right in your own neighborhood. If you prefer to join in on an organized event, check out these options:
