Lots of groups on social media are ensuring that this Christmas is celebrated for a cause. Here are some of the ways you can bring a smile to someone's face.
Through a smartphone app
Smartphone app Haptik has partnered with E-Daan and is allowing people to donate books and warm clothes to an NGO. To avail the facility, you have to download the app, send a message on the Haptik handle with the details of what you would like to donate and your details.
E-Daan will then get their network NGOs to get in touch with you to collect the donation from your doorstep at a convenient time.
Robin Hood Army
A group of young Samaritans called the Robin Hood Army are out on the streets every night ensuring that the homeless get warm food and blankets to survive. For Christmas, the community has started a new initiative where they are urging people outside the community to be Santa for the needy.
Aptly titled Be Robin This Christmas, the movement urges people to go out and donate warm clothes, blankets and food to the homeless, click a picture and post it on the RHA Facebook page.
The #SantaRocks campaign
Rocknshop.com has tied up with the Naz foundation to help underprivileged kids with their #SantaRocks campaign. The idea is to make a pledge by either volunteering to take part in actual activities or making a donation. Paying for a child’s visit to the dentist, gifting a book and buying bottles of water for street kids are some good deeds on the list.

Fly By Knights, a delivery service in Mumbai, is helping you play Secret Santa by sending goodies to an orphanage. You have to use #FBKSecretSanta and tag @flybyknight on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. You can choose from a range of gifts and send it across.
