Today she needs a pink Webkinz pony and tomorrow it’ll be an iPhone. It’s tough to be a kid in today’s gotta-have-it-now culture.

Show her what it means to find joy in giving rather than receiving with volunteering opportunities through Little Helping Hands. The local nonprofit organizes hands-on projects that teach future good Samaritans to help those who are less fortunate.

Help out by making meals for the homeless, painting over graffiti in area parks, harvesting local sustainable produce or taking apart donated computers for recycling. Each month, the website updates its calendar with new activities that appeal to a variety of ages and interests.

Soon Miss Mother-May-I will be Mother Teresa.
