Mothers sometimes get all the attention. But occasionally, we fail to notice just how much our Dads do for us. Sunday, June 21 is Father’s Day and even though what your dad actually wants is a Ferrari or an Xbox, here are some more affordable and meaningful things you can do instead.
Here are 8 ways you can show your dad how much you love them
1. Stop and Help (honour dad by feeding a family in his name)
The greatest accolade any child could pay a loving father is to celebrate his role as provider by providing for another family in his name. Stop and Help gives you the chance to help a family in your dad’s name. Choose whether you’d like to provide one week or four weeks’ worth of shopping for a family struggling to cope in the current pandemic and then complete the Stop and Help form online. Participants will be encouraged to share their deed on social media with a photo of their dads and the hashtag #stopandhelpdads to raise awareness of all those fathers currently living without an income, unable to feed their own families.
