HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Today’s opportunity is the Family Service Society of Yonkers Holiday Gift-Making with Children.

Volunteers are needed to help children create something special for the holidays. Instead of buying gifts, children are invited to create gifts for their loved ones. Volunteers will assist the children in creating holiday items such as gingerbread houses, snow globes, keychains, coasters, and mugs. Volunteers will also be wrapping the gifts for the children to take home.
