Giving thanks need not be limited to Thanksgiving; the spirit of giving back to your community should be a year-round endeavor that instills bonding among community members. This is made easier if you are a member of a homeowners association, as infrastructure should already be in place for community involvement and charitable causes.

The simplest way to give back is to show that you truly are concerned about the welfare of the association. Do your best to attend HOA meetings regularly, since you are an integral part of it. Your ideas and perspectives count; voice out your concerns and suggestions. The important thing is that you show support by being an active presence in the association.
Secondly, get more involved by joining an existing committee or suggesting the forming of a new one within the HOA. The community can benefit hugely from your areas of expertise. If you can’t commit to regular meetings, then simply volunteer at particular events, activities, or drives.
Assisting neighbors is a very concrete way of giving back. Ask your HOA about those members that can use your help. You can, for example, help your neighbors in cleaning the backyard during Autumn, offering to water their plants, or collecting their mail while they are out of town. It’s often the simplest gestures you do for others that count; these small acts of kindness form the backbone of a taut and truly admirable HOA.
