If you see someone who is struggling or homeless, ask them what they need and go buy them the necessities and bring them back to them and then give them a little bit of cash as well. Take your whole office to lunch If you know someone struggling, see if they will let you pay a few of their monthly bills for them. Hire a cleaning lady for someone you know has kids so they can have something taken off their plate. Get a friends car detailed while they are at work. Buy a few visa gift cards so you have them when you see someone struggling you can hand them out to them. If you know someone who has been wanting to purchase something special however, life has been giving them struggles. You go purchase them for them. Again, these are just a few ideas…..there are tons of ideas that you can do…
