3. Organize a group to spend a Saturday sprucing and cleaning your corps, or hold a food drive and help restock the food pantry.

4. Send a card to someone who is ill in your congregation or community. Better yet, visit.

5. Offer to babysit for a young couple in your corps so they can have a night out.

6. Write a letter to a child who could use some extra attention. Kids love getting mail.

7. Wash your neighbor’s car.

8. Go through your bookshelves. Find a book you love, and send it to someone else to enjoy. Be sure to include the latest copy of New Frontier Chronicle, too.

9. Adopt a deployed soldier who is connected to your corps. Write and send treats.

10. Leave money on someone’s windshield with a note to enjoy lunch on you.
