A sweet idea- love notes:



Leave encouraging, inspiring, or funny notes/quotes in a library book or other random places (without littering or defiling public property).

This website has fun examples that might give you an idea: www.artofgettingstarted.com

There are Goodwill’s or Salvation Amy centers in every town, large or small so you can donate there to help others and quickly.  Nowadays, it might be best to take an old suitcase you don't use anymore and and pack extra clothes, towels, blankets and very practical items anyone woiuld need to be able to donate it to the victims of the recent California wildfires.
