"This year, the Church has split it's \"Light the World\" campaign into four distinct weeks, with each focusing on a different sphere you can influence for good.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the second week of December, we are encouraged to light our communities. If you aren't sure where to begin, here is a list of helpful ideas with varying degrees of time commitment and planning.\r\n\r\n \tVisit JustServe.org to view local service opportunities!\r\n \tFind the social media accounts for your city or town and your city officials. Follow them to stay informed about what is going on in your community.\r\n \tRegister to vote.\r\n \tIntroduce yourself to someone who lives near you that you do not know.\r\n \tWake up a bit early and carefully clean the snow off someone's windshield.\r\n \tVisit a local nursing home and sing Christmas carols.\r\n \tDonate toys to a local children's hospital.\r\n \tVolunteer at or make a donation to a homeless shelter.\r\n \tOffer to go on visits with the missionaries in your ward or stake.\r\n \tSupport a small business by making a purchase.\r\n \tJoin (or start!) an interfaith choir for the season.\r\n \tDonate blood.\r\n \tDo you have a special skill or talent? Volunteer to teach a class to others in your neighborhood or ward. You can even contact your local community center to offer your skills.\r\n \tDonate books to a local school.\r\n \tIf you see a stray shopping cart in the parking lot, go grab it and put it away so it doesn't damage any cars.\r\n \tChoose to take public transportation for a day to help the environment.\r\n \tVisit this link to learn more about helping refugees in your community.\r\n \tOffer water to public workers who shovel streets and driveways when you see them.\r\n \tAsk your bishop or branch president how you can sponsor a family in your ward for Christmas.\r\n \tGet together with your ministering sisters and brothers and find a way to serve together.\r\n\r\nWhat would you add to this list? "
