This morning, gather enough materials to enable several people to wash cars. During the day, create a few big signs that read “Free Car Wash” and then this afternoon “set up shop” on a nearby street corner and offer car washes for a few hours to whomever stops by. Engage car owners in conversation and […]
This morning, contact various children’s hospitals or clinics to find out when they have visiting hours. During the day, gather some flowers, toys, games &/or books to take with you, and this afternoon go visit one of them.
