And although we should act charitably all year and throughout all the seasons, Christmastime is a great start. Here are six ways you can get involved this season.

1. Dress Those In Distress<\/b><\/big><\/big>

A fundraising concert<\/a> featuring Jahida Wehbe will be taking place at Masrah al Madina on December 21. This concert is to be the first step of many in a campaign designed to develop sustainable water and sanitation solutions for refugees and their host communities in Lebanon.

Most importantly, you can make a difference in your own community. Small-scale community outreach programs can be just as effective as the large fundraisers. We all know families or individuals that could use a helping hand, whether you choose to help out by giving out clothes or food that will ease their financial burdens. Or, if you are able to give even more, helping out with school tuition or other more hefty expenses \u2013 you would be changing someone’s life in an immeasurable way.
