How to Give Back to Our Communities | NowThis Kids

How can we come together to help our communities? This week on NowThis Kids, we’re talking to Emma Macdonald about how she gives back to her community with a revolving fridge. » Subscribe to NowThis Kids: It takes a group effort to create a nice place to live for an entire community. Everybody has to do their part. Emma Macdonald volunteers at the Fort Greene Community Fridge, a revolving refrigerator that’s filled with healthy, free food for families in need. It’s maintained by the same community it serves. ’The group who organized it is creating a community amongst ourselves,’ Emma says. ’It’s a really powerful way of making a little effort.’ We’re all a part of so many communities that we might not even realize we’re in them. That means we have numerous opportunities to chip in and make them fun, accepting, and encouraging places to live. We can each take a look at the issues affecting our communities and identify ways to make things better. The idea of community service brings to mind some sort of punishment, but giving back means finding innovating community service ideas, especially community service for kids, in recognition of the greater good it will do. Whether it’s community organizing, creating community fridge in Fort Greene Brooklyn, NYC, or even coming up with community service projects and community service ideas at home, giving back to people and giving back to the community is one small way we can make our whole world better.
