First I want to say God Bless to all of those who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. You are in our prayers! This weekend, why not spend some quality time with your significant other making a difference to those that were impacted by the tragic storm. Here are some meaningful date ideas that you can do this weekend and really make a difference.

Give Blood

This probably doesn’t sound like a dream date to anyone, but remember, your goal here is to spend quality time with your partner doing something that counts. Because many blood drives were cancelled because of Sandy, blood supplies are low in the areas affected the most. Call Red Cross to make an appointment.

Donate

Spend some time with your partner and go over your finances and see how much you can donate. Go to www.redcross.org and your donations will help provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by the storm. Enjoy a home cooked meal that evening knowing that you made a contribution together.

Volunteer

If you are on the East Coast, The Salvation Army has dozens of mobile feeding units and shelters that are working to serve thousands in the most heavily hit areas. If you aren’t in an affected area, call your local Red Cross and find out how you can help.
