Instructions for volunteers taking part in the Holiday Call challenge
Bring some holiday cheer to lonely people by giving them a phone call or sending them a greeting.
Even a small gesture of kindness during the holiday season can mean a great deal to those who are spending Christmas alone against their will.
Once again, we ask branches to make some calls and send greetings to local residents, such as those living in service homes. You know best who needs some cheering up. A single phone call or a simple greeting can bring great joy.
Social media content for the Holiday Call challenge will be added to the material bank of the Red Cross by mid-December. Upload and share social media content on your branch’s channels and encourage your followers to get involved.
