It's that time of the year again when most of us start thinking about how we can give back.

If you're a business leader, you may already have a recurring volunteer program that your organization participates in. Perhaps your team takes a day to volunteer at your local soup kitchen or you host a toy collection program to donate to a local charity.

There's obviously no shortage of ways to volunteer and give back to your community all year round, but there are additional opportunities during the holiday season.
