“Are you feeling like you need to help someone in need? What if that someone has four legs and paws?! These ideas would fit great in your summer break:
Best idea of all is to adopt or foster! Take the summer to settle in with your new pet!Traveling This Summer?
Get creative and spread joy with cheerful drawings, coloring pages, and thank-you cards to brighten up your tip for servers.
It’s an easy and fun way to show your kindness. Take some time while on the road to whip up a bunch of colorful thank-you notes (you can pick up a pack at the dollar store). Then, surprise your server, bus driver, or anyone who adds a little extra happiness to your travel days by leaving one of these cards. An easy way to make their day a little brighter!
