The Holiday Project - a movement bringing holiday hope

What if you were confined to a hospital during the holidays?  I don't know about you, but I know I would love some extra company if I were away from my family like that - especially over the holidays.

The Holiday Project, a movement started in Washington DC, is quickly making its way across the country to make a difference in the lives of individuals confined over the holidays.  All across the country, chapters of the Holiday Project are planning projects of bringing holiday cheer and love to those confined to hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions.

Join a nationwide movement this holiday season and participate in this season of giving by giving some company to those who will enjoy it: check out Holiday Project, see if there is a chapter in your area (there are a few in California!), or join in on the cause by seeking out opportunities in your area at your local volunteer center or a neighborhood nonprofit (try a hospice, hospital, or nursing home for ideas).
