With the presidential primary season in full swing, not to mention all the things that are happening around the world, you may or may not have noticed that 2016 is a leap year.
That's right. This year we get an extra day in the month of February - and that extra day is a valuable resource we can put to good use!
That's why this year, we're challenging you to #LeapWithLWR and use February 29 to do things that help make the world a better place.
We've compiled a list of 10 easy ways you can use your extra day to do good - in your own community and around the world. Pick one (or more) thing to do, then share it with the hashtag #LeapWithLWR!
10 Easy Ways to Do Good on Leap Day
- Brew a pot of LWR Fair Trade coffee at work and tell your co-workers how they too can help lift farmers out of poverty!
- Pay it forward at the toll booth.
- Like the LWR - Project Promise Facebook Page, then share it so others can too!
- Support a local business with a purchase or a visit.
- Visit thrivent.com/choice to direct your Thrivent Choice Dollars to LWR!
- Offer to do the dishes after supper.
- Have a one-hour technology black-out and pray for refugees.
- Call your parents! (Or grandparents.) They miss you!
- Skip your morning latte and give that $5 to LWR’s Quilt & Kit Shipping Fund instead! You'll help send Quilts & Kits around the world!
- Share an LWR Fair Trade chocolate bar with a co-worker or friend and tell them how they, too, can make a difference with Fair Trade.
BONUS ITEM: Share either of the below #LeapWithLWR graphics on social media and tag three friends to leap with you!
Doing these small things can make a big difference to the people you love as well as people you may never meet. So make good use of God's gifts on Feburary 29th. Take the #LeapWithLWR, use the hashtag, and show us how you are using your Leap Day for good!
