For this edition of Feel Good Friday, the focus is on helping others.  Below are a few suggestions on how you can assist those in need in your area.

1. Donate: Organizations such as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army, depend on donations from the public to fund their company. With the extreme cold temperatures around the country, many people are in need of help. Jackets, blankets and other winter clothing are great items to donate. You can find a donation location for the Salvation Army within miles of your home.
2. Volunteer: Volunteering is a great way to help others. Ninety percent of non-profit organizations are composed of volunteers. Homeless shelters and food banks can always use an extra set of hands. Visit Volunteer Match to find great volunteer opportunities in your community.
