[quote=Anonymous]Yes-my mom did meals for friends & families that had hardships in their lives. She made welcome cookies for new neighbors. She also did work in various church groups that contributed to the community. She had us do soup kitchens & Habitat for Humanity when we were teens.

I do lots of these things now. I believe in building a village, contributing to the community & helping people out. I do meals for sick & pregnant neighbors, drop off gifts “just because” to people who might need cheering up, get my kids to help the elderly neighbors w/their yards etc. We also do local park clean ups & participate in any fundraisers for local organizations like the PTA.

I don’t live in DC anymore, and am really grateful to be in the loving, kind , engaged neighborhood I’m in now. When my family has had some challenges this year we’ve been swamped with support. Food, people taking my kids, random invites, friends dropping off margaritas just to make me smile.... you really get out what you put in.
