How to Build Community and Give Back this Holiday Season

With the holidays fast approaching, now is the perfect time to explore creative ways to support both your team and your community. Adding a corporate social responsibility (CSR) community give-back activity to your Christmas party or year-end meeting is a meaningful way to bring people together while making a real impact. 

Creating an activity that fosters collaboration, connection, and engagement isn’t always easy—but it can be! For the past 20 years, Impact 4 Good has facilitated thousands of CSR and philanthropic team building events for companies looking to align their mission and employee passion with community impact. 

Whether hybrid, in-person, virtual, or DIY, we bring the community to you—so you can bring joy to families in need while creating a lasting, purpose-driven team experience. 

Host an Interactive Activity with a Donation Tie In 

Bring employees together for an in-person, high-energy experiences like:  

• Give-Back Scavenger Hunt – Solve riddles and use clues to gather donations. 

• Great Give-Back Game Show – Compete in trivia with a purpose. 

• Escape the Room – Work together to problem solve. 

During each experience, teams assemble meaningful donations or contribute to local nonprofits.  To close the event, we invite a beneficiary representative to express their gratitude and raise awareness for the impact their work has on the community.  

Assemble Kits for Families and Kids  

The holidays can be trying time for families and kids in need. Whether it’s gifts under the tree or a simple gesture of comfort, your team can make the season brighter. 

In-Person Philanthropic Team Building Activities

 Pack Up Donations to Fight Food Insecurity 

More than 47 million people in the U.S.—including 13 million children—don’t always know where their next meal will come from (Feeding America). In fact, during 2020 alone, over 60 million people—1 in 5 Americans—relied on food banks, pantries, or community food programs. The need for essential food items is urgent. 

Our food-focused philanthropic team building events turn awareness into action by engaging your employees in a meaningful, hands-on experience. 

In-Person Activities 

Teams work together in high-energy, engaging challenges before assembling donations: 

• CAN-opoly – Teams build creative structures from canned goods in a timed challenge. 

• Putting For a Purpose – Teams design mini golf holes using boxed and canned food, then compete in a fun putting competition. 

After the challenges, teams pack up the food items and write messages of encouragement for the recipients who help them feel seen and supported.  

Direct support for Children 

For an even more targeted impact, teams can assemble: 

• Weekend Food Packs – Nutritious meals kids can take home when school is closed. 

• Breakfast Pack up – Morning essentials to start the day with a full stomach.
