The Season of Giving

It is hard to believe the holiday season is already upon us. The holidays, although busy and stressful, have been said to be “the most wonderful time of the year”. But for many the opposite can be said. The holiday season should remind us of the importance of caring all year long and any acts of kindness can go a long way.

Throughout the year the attorneys and staff at Schantz Law volunteer their time helping people with family law legal issues that don’t have access to legal service. Our team also volunteers in the community. Last year during the holidays, our firm teamed up with Alexander Law and put together gift baskets for some young mothers in need. This group effort not only helped people in need but remarkably took away some of our holiday stress and brought joy to us as well. This year we are including our families and looking forward to volunteering at the Oregon Food Bank in Beaverton. We are also adopting a family with three children, one who became paralyzed this year from a rare disease.

Since the holidays are a time for giving, remember giving back to the community is very rewarding and will bring a smile to someone’s face. Here are some links to charitable activities and volunteer opportunities that we like:
