10 Fabulous Service Ideas for kids during this Christmas season. Teach them the true meaning of Christmas!

It’s mid-December and you may be thinking to yourself that it’s too late for a service project between now and Christmas. I’m here to tell you NOT SO! We’ve put together a list of 9 Service Ideas for Kids that you can do with your family THIS Christmas season. Giving and kindness start at home. None of these ideas are terribly complex or cost much (if any!) money.

3. Christmas Giving Jar – While you won’t collect a whole lot between now and this Christmas, this would be a great time to start a giving jar for NEXT year. Throughout the year, you put your change (or even bills) into the jar, and then at Christmas, you give it away to someone in need.
