Are you looking to make some new relationships? Or maybe new memories? Here's a way to do both. Get in the trenches and serve beside others. Throwing yourself into a service project with others forces you to work together and learn about each other. It also builds memories. In blended families this has the added benefit of helping family members forge new relationships in meaningful ways. You bond, make memories, and do some good for a neighbor next door or around the world.
