You’re home for winter break. Finals are done, the semester is finished, and there is no homework to be had. After the rush of preparing for the holidays and the joy and excitement of Christmas morning, there is a lull. Giving back to your local community is a great way to fill any extra time you have while you’re home! Think about how fortunate you are to have had such a wonderful holiday experience, and remember that the simplest of acts can brighten someone else’s world. Let’s make a difference this winter break!
