Neighborhood Care & Share: Free Invitations

We helped host a neighborhood Care & Share the other night, which is a new tradition for us now. It was our second year doing it, and was such a great experience.

The whole idea behind a neighborhood Care & Share, is that instead spending hours in the kitchen baking plates and plates of holiday goodies for your neighbors, you instead all gather on one night, and bake ONE plate to share with each other. You then give donations (with the money you saved) to a charity of choice for Christmas.

One of my FAVORITE holiday traditions! Instead of baking plates and plate of cookies that no one will be able to eat, host a care & share with neighbors or friends and get together to share a treat and donate to a charity of choice.

We have a local charity that feeds elementary students who go without food, as well as our local food bank that we chose to have the donations go to. We ended up with a bunch of food donations PLUS another $600 to go towards the County Caring for Kids program!

Our new favorite Christmas tradition: Simplify Christmas baking with a Neighborhood Care & Share

This new tradition is so much better than the old way of doing things for 3 reasons:

1.) We can never eat all the Christmas treats that are gifted to us anyway

2.) We get to actually enjoy each other's company for an evening

3.) We are doing service at the same time.

We also had a horse and buggy that gave rides around the neighborhood, and I supplied some hot cocoa and warm apple cider. We enjoyed our treats around fire pits.

If you are participating in the Light the World challenge, day 21's theme is “feed the hungry.” This would be a fantastic event for that!

It was a great evening! I've created some Care & Share printable invitations for those wanting to host a similar party. Just upload to picmonkey or Canva and you can input the details.

I'm six-foot tall mother of three and I'm enjoying the view! I'm currently fighting a battle with Lyme disease and am determined to come out victorious. I enjoy warm summer rain, peanut butter everything, having dance parties with my husband and kids, natural remedies and healthy living. Most days I'm just looking for another excuse to avoid the piles of laundry.
