It’s the holidays!, time for ho, ho, ho, excited children and precious time off spent with family and friends. It’s that time of year where companies slow down, unused vacation days are taken and life rides in the slow lane. Why not spend the last month of the year at the beach? Hotels and resorts are offering great rental rates, so instead of crowding everyone into your casa at the holidays, bring them down to a nice condo or an Airbnb.
Walk the beach on Christmas morning, cook a holiday seafood dinner together, or spend Christmas Eve at a local church. Better yet, throw a box of used items or donations in your vehicle and volunteer some time or donations to those less fortunate in Rocky Point and your guaranteed to have a warm Holiday of giving.
There are many organizations in Puerto Peñasco looking for donations, your time and good spirit. Pick one you feel connected to and volunteer. The Santa Claus Club, fitting name for the holidays, can always use donations. This now year-round organization is especially visible at the holidays where bikes and toys are given to children. The Santa Claus Club can be found on Facebook with monthly pictures and totals of goods delivered into the barrio.
If you’re looking for a place to share your time, check out God’s Grace Foundation, A Feeding, Clothing, and First Aid Ministry in Rocky Point. Message them on Facebook and spend a few hours volunteering on a Saturday morning.
Both organizations accept clothing, coats, blankets, foods, toys etc.
There is a list of organizations that need donations. DIF Puerto Peñasco, men’s shelters, woman shelters, senior homes and children housing. Check out RPTimes Charity list and donate your time, used items, money, or donations to the charity of your choice. Every donation makes a difference.
There are many ways to spend your holidays, but according to the “Golden Rule” — “do unto others as ye would have them do unto you”. Yes, if I was starving, cold or in need of help, I would treasure the kindness of strangers. There are many ways to make a difference, and when you do miraculously it makes a difference in you. With the holiday spirit in mind, try an act of random kindness this month and don’t tell anyone! It will be a gift to others and to yourself.
If you are looking for some Christmas cheer, gather the group together, tear this page out of the paper and sing along!!
