[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--warm thanks to those with actual suggestions.  Please keep them coming.  I certainly understand that many obvious volunteer opportunities are not a fit for a 3-year old, which is why I was looking for creative ideas.  It is important to us to instill in him now that it is important for him to contribute to the world around him even as a little guy.

To those that felt the need to respond with incredibly negative, snarky, and flat out mean posts--please stop.  We make service and giving a priority year-round (including as our careers) and certainly don't view others that need help as a side-show.  I often find this community to be helpful and encouraging and am disappointed in the flurry of folks looking for something/someone to attack.[/quote]

So if service is a priority, why aren’t you approaching the organizations that you apparently help all year to see what they need? I know of very few that won’t make room for a consistent volunteer at the holidays. Of course that wouldn’t be “giving” only by financial means.

Maybe try on Feb 12 to donate some time if you’re serious about it. It will I still plenty upon your 3 year old on that date, especially as service is such a way of life for you already. [/quote]
