Boxing Day has traditionally been a day of generosity and goodwill. While it has become synonymous with sales and sports in many parts of the world, it’s also a perfect opportunity to focus on helping others. Here’s how you can make this Boxing Day more about charity and less about consumption.
1. Volunteer Your Time
Many charitable organizations and shelters are in need of extra hands during the holiday season. Whether it’s serving meals, organizing donations, or simply offering a listening ear, your time and effort can make a big difference.
2. Donate Items or Money
Declutter your home by donating gently used clothes, toys, and household items. Monetary donations to local charities or global organizations are also a meaningful way to give back. Consider using the Life Planner app’s To-Do List feature to organize items for donation and track deadlines for drop-offs.
3. Host a Giving Event
Turn your Boxing Day brunch or gathering into a charity event. Ask guests to bring non-perishable food, warm clothing, or monetary contributions instead of traditional hostess gifts. You can even set reminders and schedule the event using the Life Planner app's Habit Calendar and Event Scheduling features.
4. Support Local Businesses
Shopping small and local supports your community and indirectly helps local charities. Many small businesses also participate in donation drives, making your purchases even more impactful.
