Sometimes this can be more valuable to people who are lonely at Christmas.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have a spare few hours in your week (a big ask for any business owner) you could volunteer to help cook an early Christmas lunch or go and chat with older people who may not have any family.

Those celebrating alone may not want to go through the extra expense at Christmas if they have no one to eat with. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if you’re a food-centric small business and have the capacity, why not offer a free or lower cost Christmas lunch for people alone, the elderly, or those who are strapped for cash this Christmas?
