Our philanthropy chair this last year came up with great activities for us.
For every holiday, we made cards for the fire fighters and police officers in NYC. It doesn't sound like much, but we received a letter back from them, telling us how much they really appreciated it! It's really easy too. Just buy a pack of construction paper, some markers, crayons and rubber stamps. We would hand them out during meetings, for the sisters to make. We also would have them out at our Shakey's Night, which is a fundraiser. That way other people and organizations that were there could make some too!
We also made Christmas cards for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
Some of us went to an elementary school, and helped put books inside backpacks. (It was an event planned out by a company, I believe) Anyways, you can read books to the children.
There's tons of other ideas out there. Good luck!
