Before husband and I were retired every year at Christmas we would go to the Salvation Army and get the names and sizes of two children (one girl and one boy) and dress them from head to toe including underwear and hats and mittens. We would always tuck away little toys in the pockets for them to find as little surprises. Unfortunately now being on fixed incomes we can no longer afford to do this but we still try to pick up a couple of games or toys and donate them. We also try to at least drop some coins into the kettles when we see them in front of the stores.
We also practice RAK every day. DH is 6 foot 4 and every time we are in a store if he sees someone trying to reach something on a top shelf he will always volunteer to get it for them. It doesn't cost anything to be polite and caring.
