Extra Credit Give More Hugs

I decided to participate in Give More Hugs, because it gives students the opportunity to donate to an organization that actually has the donation going straight to the kids in need. I like a donation that does not always have to do with money, because they have to split that money with the “middle man”. I always donate each year, because I feel that if I was in that position, I would want people to help me. My community has easy access to donate especially around the Holidays. I can create opportunities for children in need by having myself available to volunteer. I volunteer at recycling centers all the time. I can attempt to volunteer at non-profit organizations to help distribute donations or even give out flyers. I can help my future students with resources to participate in extracurricular activities by consulting goodwill or another source to help them get leotards for dancing or baseball shoes for playing baseball. I can help pay for physicals or consult child services for contribution. I can have children write down what they need on a piece of paper without their names and ask other students to pick one from the posting board and donate that need. They can do it for extra credit or more free time.
