The holidays are coming, and it’s time to think of ways that you can intentionally give back to your community.

While you’re giving back, it helps a lot to build your reputation in the community if you can get others in your community involved.

Conducting a food drive is a great way to get involved! Partner with a local food bank, and with a little effort, you can create a community around giving.

For this week’s Tip Tuesday, we’re talking about how you can give back during the holidays, build rapport in your community, and get your community involved. We talked about this on episode 34 of the podcast, but this advice is so good that I’m bringing it back!

Thanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn’t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback! Make sure that you give us a rating and review on iTunes: that would mean the world to me, and will help us get even more amazing guests on our Friday episodes of the show.

  The holidays are coming, and I wanted to remind you of something that Stephanie Reid, our guest from episode 34, shared with us.

  It’s time to start giving back: you can organize a food drive in your community.

  
  
  
• 
  

  You can get postcards, paper bags, and cards affordably. You can use your mailing list to get the word out: tell people you are doing a food drive!

  
  
  
• 
  

  Take a few days and go door to door, passing out the bags for people to fill with donations.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Tell them you’ll be back within the next few days to pick it up.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Work with a food bank in your area: they often have tips and tricks to help you run a successful food drive!

  
  
  
• 
  

  Toy drives are also fun! Provide pizza and drinks, and have a toy be the entrance fee.

  
  
  
• 
  

  There are plenty of opportunities for you to give back, especially this time of year.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Giving back is a positive way for you to be part of your community: remember, we’re not selling real estate, we’re selling the dream: and sometimes it’s all about what we do!
