The
Importance of Giving Back
In the month of December,
many people begin to wonder what they can get, rather than what they can give. This
is the time where many people are excited for Christmas and happily preparing
for all of the Christmas festivities. Although some families are quite in the Christmas
spirit everyone else is in. In many cases it isn’t because they hate the
holidays or the festive joys many people are in, but because maybe they’re not quite
financially set for the festivities others have. In some cases, putting food on
the table and providing for their family is a struggle on its own.
The
season should be focusing on how you are going to be preparing for Jesus, or
just how you can help others in need. Some schools and companies have food and
toy drives and collection for donations for families in need. At Detroit Cristo
Rey High School, we are having a fund raiser for families in need and are
helping around 12 families. In order for the funds to be reached, the school
had a week of Christmas spirit, where if you pay $2 and 2 nonperishable items, or
$4 you would be allowed to dress in the theme planned out for the day.
The first day was Christmas color day where
students wore red, green or white. The second day was ugly or nice sweater day,
the third was candy cane day, the fourth was reindeer or elf day and the last
day was Mr. and Mrs. Clause day. In doing this, the school got many people in
the festive holiday spirit and successfully raised money toward helping those families
in need. When everyone pitches in and helps each other for a common goal, the
goal will be reached.
