Christmas. A time to show love. Everywhere in the world, Christmas is a time to
enjoy with family and close friends. Everyone is happy and cherishes spending time
with the most important people they have. That’s why we want to give you ideas on
how to share this love during the festive season. Whether related to weddings,
charity projects or the environment,Christmas is the best time to share what you have
with others.
1. Donate your dress
A very special possibility is to donate the wedding dress to a company like the Angel
Gown Program, which recycle the dresses into small angel dresses for families who
suffer an infant loss. Volunteers transform the wedding dress into up to 8 small
pieces of clothing. It is difficult to find tiny clothing and being given a small dress with
all the love that has gone into making it at this most heartbreaking time can help the
families.
2. Leftovers to soup kitchen or order extra menus
Winter is cold and many homeless people are struggling more than ever. Therefore, why not donate leftovers from weddings, christmas party or even birthdays, to organizations like Chiringuito de Dios. At the same time,
when you know your final number of guests, you can order extra menus and donate
them to similar organizations as mentioned above. The monetary worth of the menu will be used on produce that lasts longer like lentils, flour or rice.
3. Bake and help
A good way to also involve children is baking! Together with the children you have a
wonderful day baking and decorating many different cookies. After that you can go
together to local hospitals, old people’s homes or refugee homes and give the
homemade biscuits to your fellow human beings. Children learn about charity and you bring a smile to the face of others.
4. Choose a venue with a charity background
Did you know you can choose a venue with a charity background? A venue where
the fee goes to a worthy cause? Check out Sol y Vida
5. Hidden city tour
Another good idea for family, friends and colleagues is a city tour with Hidden City
Tours. Ex-homless people show their Barcelona the way they got to know it. Why not
discover Barcelona in such a way and leave a positive impression? There is the
possibility to end the whole tour with a delicious tapas meal at Chiringuito de Dios. The perfect group event or present!
