Family Learning Center

My husband and I live very far from any family and every year we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with just our small children. As this is nice and special, we both wish to make this year and possibly the the future years memorable ones and do something meaningful.
Since our kids are small, we know that this will pose a roadblock to certain things.
But we wish to start volunteering our Thanksgiving and/or Christmas Eve nights to a shelter, hospice or nursing home.
Anyways, any other suggestions?
God bless
