They’re a group that society tends to notice and “love on” during the holidays, but during the year … I wonder.
We sometimes call them Community Helpers.
Many of them work long hours for low pay.
Ways we can encourage them …
- Learn their names
- Drop by their office with cookies, fruit, or snacks
- Send a thank you note
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper in appreciation of their work
- Where applicable, offer to decorate their office for various seasons
- Reach out to the families of those professionals who often have to work on holidays
- Plan an appreciation event
Are you (or a family member/close friend) a Community Helper? What would encourage you?

That first one said it all. I like the fact that you pointed that out. Too often, they become the uniform they wear. What a rice reminder that that there is a person in there.
And I also liked the one about their families at holidays.
Another great reminder, Susan.
Thanks for sharing.
