In the wake of hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and flooding, many traveling families are eager to give back. Here are five ideas to consider:
1. Give locally. If you and your family have especially fond memories of a certain destination, get in touch to see if there is a specific way you might be able to help.
Visit sooner than later with your luggage filled with nonperishable supplies. Arrive with a contribution raised from a neighborhood lemonade stand or garage sale. Check to see if your employer is matching donations to the disaster recovery efforts for even greater impact.
Organizations such as the Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts, are active in relief efforts throughout the Caribbean and will welcome your support. Contact: www.SandalsFoundation.org; www.Beaches.com
