Have your children help you select canned goods to donate to food drives.
Write letters to missionaries or those serving in the military (if your children are old enough, have them add a note or a picture they've drawn)
Take a meal to a new mom.
Bake cookies for a new neighbor. (If you see someone moving in, you can bet they have no dishes or utensils to eat with that day. Bring a little bag of paper plates, napkins, plastic cups, plastic utensils, paper towels, toilet paper, Ivory liquid, etc. )
