What “Do Good” projects work in my family?
- At the grocery store, have your children choose one extra item to donate to someone who is hungry.

- Have your children sort recycling or visit the recycling center with you.
- As a family, participate in Mitzvah Day at your synagogue or school.
- Model the mitzvah of honoring parents. The encourage your children to call their grandparents regularly. Allowing them to dial the numbers gives them added incentive.
