Coming up with 25 days of service projects can be hard work! We made our service advents with 14 and 15 year old girls so a lot of the ideas we came up with were fairly simple, and a lot were repeated. But I thought I would share some of our ideas with you and some that I added to mine in case you were a little stumped for ideas.
Doing someone's elses chore for the day.
Making dinner
Cleaning out closets and donating clothes.
Donating coats for the coat drive.
Make cookies and take them to someone who could use cheering up.
Visit an elderly friend or neighbor and talk to them about their Holiday traditions.
Visit someone who is sick.
Give a meal or gift card to the homeless
Write a thank you note to your parents
Do something to help out a teacher at school

Donate toys or blankets to a shelter
