Help your family get a healthy "helper's high" from performing a kind act. And who better to get in cahoots with for holiday giving than the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation? The Gates Foundation Visitor Center, located at Seattle Center, is hosting one month of "The Give Effect" events.
First, check out www.gatesvc.org and listen to some amazing stories from local families about how and why they've made a difference in our community. Then select a tag from the Visitor Center giving tree – a collection of 300 wishes from local groups that serve youth and families in need – and deliver unwrapped gifts before Dec. 24.
Pat yourself on the back for your efforts and attend Family Day at the Visitor Center on Dec. 28, with hands-on activities, live performances and speakers that celebrate all of the ways we can give back to our communities. Visit www.gatesfoundation.org to learn more.
