Secret Santa is a fun, inexpensive way to get involved in the community. It’s also a great way to meet new people and help others out—especially if you have a knack for making random gifts!
Here are some ideas on how to make your Secret Santa experience even more special:
If you have time and money to spare, donate to charity. There are many charities that work with the homeless and provide food, clothing and shelter at Christmas time. Donating directly to local shelters is also a good way of helping those in need without spending lots of money on transportation or gas.
Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Many shelters are looking for volunteers who can help out with activities like laundry duty or dish washing so they can keep their residents busy while working on their own projects during the day!
Donating blood is a great way to help others and save lives. It’s safe, easy and fun!
If you’re in the mood to meet new people, this is also a great opportunity for volunteering. You can sign up at any time of day or night (morning/evening) at any hospital or blood center in your area.
You can help out with Christmas lunches for underprivileged families. Most charities provide Christmas lunches for underprivileged families and if you would like to volunteer, they will give you information on how to get started. The most important thing is to get involved in their organization and be ready to work hard!
You can volunteer by helping prepare the food (cooking or serving), making decorations, wrapping gifts and other tasks as needed. Ask about what supplies they need such as food items or decorations.
Singing carols is a great way to spread Christmas cheer. You can also get together with your neighbors and sing a few songs together, especially if you have an instrument or two that you can play along with the rest of us.

There are many elderly or sick people who might benefit from these gatherings, so why not make it part of your volunteer activities this year?
