Service Quarters

GREAT IDEA: Throughout the months of November and December, when a child is caught doing something kind (doing a chore without being asked, giving a sibling a hug, taking the dog for a walk, etc.)—up to a certain predetermined amount per day—he or she will receive a quarter that the child can then place in the family “Giving Jar.” The last week of the month, the family can purchase food or clothing using this Giving Jar money (or just donate the money itself) to the family or organization the family has decided it would like to help. (Idea was posted on LDSliving.net).
