Patrick Dwyer Merrill Lynch | Tips for Building a Meaningful Network

If you’re looking for ways to give back to your community or people in need this holiday season but don’t want to go the traditional route of dropping change in a bucket or writing a check, these are some great alternatives. Below you’ll find suggestions for some unique ways you and your family or business can support local needs.

Foster a Shelter Pet

Animal lovers can help out their local pet rescue by fostering an animal in need! This allows shelters more space in their facilities and can give sick or injured animals a more quiet and nurturing space to recover until they are ready for adoption.

Send Handmade Notes to Hospital Patients

This is a great option to do with kids! You can send handmade “get well soon” cards to your local hospital to brighten the day of patients who can’t go home for the holidays.
