Give
Giving what you can is a great way to add purpose and meaning to your life. It can be as simple as helping a friend, or giving your time, your expertise or something you have grown or cooked yourself. You can also give on a bigger scale by contributing as part of a group effort to an environmental or social cause. A few ways you can give to others include:
- Help a neighbour or friend with some odd jobs
- Give up some of your time to volunteer with Volunteering SA
- Learn about and participate in the City's Circular Economy
- Give some produce from your garden to family, co-workers, friends, or neighbours
- Volunteering at a community event
