Make some time to help people you know
Create some time in your week to meet needs of people you are already in contact with - people at your church, neighbours, families from school.
You don't have to seek out "people in need" as if they are some special category!
Make some time in your week to meet needs of people you are already in contact with, even acquaintances – for example, people at your church, neighbours, families from school.
Think of something that could be useful for someone in their life situation – it might be babysitting, helping out in the garden or with repairs, giving lifts to school or shops or clubs. (If you have kids, which other kids in your area go to the same school or club – what about suggesting the parents that you share lifts?)
Offer your help and see how your relationship gets better and you learn a bit about giving at the same time!
