Christmas for A Cause: Your Ticket to a Meaningful Christmas
Christmas for a Cause: Different Ways to Celebrate Your Christmas
This Christmas, how do you plan to celebrate? You may have varied ideas and to-dos that popped into your head, the moment you read my question. Will you attend several Christmas parties? Did you remember that list of presents you still need to buy? Have you finally decided on the menu for Christmas dinner this year? No matter what popped into your mind when you read the question, Go Sedan challenges you to a different way to celebrate it—Join a Christmas for a cause event.
Christmas for a Cause: A Meaningful Way to Celebrate the Holidays
It’s in Thanksgiving that most people would do acts of goodwill. They say it’s as a sign of gratitude for all the good things a person received. However, why confine yourself to a certain holiday? Isn’t it better to extend the spirit of generosity throughout the rest of the year? With this in mind, we’ve complied these three events of goodwill you can join and participate, in case you want a meaningful way to remember this Christmas.
1. JADV Christmas Toy Distribution
Date and Time: Sat, December 22, 2018; 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM PST
Place: Location to be disclosed to Volunteers – Los Angeles 90007
Who doesn’t want to be happy during the most wonderful time of the year? The members of Jemba Against Domestic Violence (J.A.D.V. Org) just have a simple mission, and that is to bring joy to those in need during the holidays. You might ask, how does one bring another individual a specific emotion? JADV style is to hold a Christmas toy distribution event. Aside from toys for the children, mothers stand a chance to receive raffle prizes, as well. Finally, everyone would share the food prepared for the event. If you have a soft spot for children and their brave mothers, then why don’t you try and sign up as a volunteer? Sign up here.
2. Christmas in Venice Beach: Outreach by Lost Angels Org
Date and Time: Tue, December 25, 2018; 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM PST
Place: Venice Beach Basketball Courts, 1800 Ocean Front Walk, Los Angeles, CA 90291, United States
With five years’ worth of good deeds to the less fortunate, Lost Angels will have their annual event in Venice beach. Their motto, “No One Gets Left Behind” inspires members and its volunteers to help homeless people who don’t have a family to spend with, this Christmas.
If you’re asking how to support, you can choose from these two ways: either you provide toiletries, winter clothes, and food on the day itself, or if you prefer monetary help, you may donate for a minimum of $5. If you wish to donate to their cause, you’re in for a reward because you can use it as a tax deductible! Not only will you get to help, your good deed will also repay you with one. Do you need more details about the event? Visit their website or email them at lostangelsorg@gmail.com.
3. LA Kings Charity Suite Night by AEG Community Foundation
Date and Time: Thu, December 27, 2018 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM PST
Place: STAPLES Center, 1111 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015, United States
Do you enjoy a good sports game which may feature gear such as a
bow case? Witness a hockey game live starring the LA Kings battle against Arizona Coyotes. However, let’s add a twist! Instead of the usual chill game, purchase a ticket at $150 for you to enjoy food, beverages and bar, giveaways and a silent auction. Best of all, proceeds of this event goes to Read A Child Org.
Not only did you get to enjoy spending time during the holidays, you get to help, as well! Check their Eventbrite for more information.
Help will come to those who truly need it in the right time. Have you decided which one will you help and participate this Christmas? Good job! You are the help these less-fortunate people need on Christmas. Do you have things to bring but don’t want the hassle of driving a car? Book a ride now with Go Sedan!
