I have been taking part in 12for12K across my social media accounts and my other blog, LostInTechnology, and this month I wanted to make a post here on UpYourSocial. The 12for12K Challenge is a great program that is using the power of social media to raise awareness and funds for some great charity organizations.
This month 12for12K is doing the 12 Days of Christmas Homeless push. This month is less about the donations and more about getting out there and doing something for the homeless. To do this, 12for12K came up something to do each day.
Here are the first 6 days.
- Day 1. Contact your local homeless shelter(s) and ask what they need. Make a list and work from there.
- Day 2. Gather 10 friends each (family, friends, colleagues) in preparation for Helping Day.
- Day 3. Challenge these friends to a bake-off. Bake a bunch of homemade goodness – soup, stews, cookies, etc – ready for Helping Day.
- Day 4. Clean out your closet (especially your husband’s, 12for12k wives!), and pack up all the old clothes that you find. Coats, socks, underwear, shoes, jeans – anything and everything.
- Day 5. Go through your linen closet and think of what blankets, sleeping bags, duvets, etc, that you no longer need.
- Day 6. Check your pantry – do you really need all these tins of soup or canned stew? Collect and store.
To see the rest of the days and learn more, go check out the rest of the 12for12K post.
