Last year I volunteered to photograph for Roses for Our Senior Friends. The organizers bring people together, provide flowers and locations were seniors could benefit from a visit. Around the holidays when a lot of people can get lonely, a simple visit can really make a difference.

This time of year is a time that we usually reflect, give thanks and hopefully give back. Growing up, my family could usually use some help around the holidays. We usually signed up for programs like toys for tots. It’s programs like that that get families through the holidays. That’s why I’m a big fan of organizations that help people give back, whether it’s a holiday toy, meal or even maybe just spreading some holiday cheer.

Here are some photos from last years event. I encourage you to find an event like this to bring a little cheer in to someones life.
