There are no excuses anymore. Being charitable has become embedded throughout our everyday lives through shopping, by pursuing our hobbies, at our workplaces, and with our celebrations.You don’t even need money! Just by doing fun things and living your life to the fullest, you and your family can spread good deeds from home to globe.Here are ten wonderful, and sometimes wacky, ways to give back, support your favorite causes, and simply make things better.
Being frugally organized can help charities you take the time and effort to find places that need the things you no longer use. There’s a place for everything, including glasses, cell phones, computers, hearing aids, and ink cartridges.
Sometimes, your stuff is the last thing you should donate. Be sure to keep in mind things that are helpful during a disaster.From booking the local botanical gardens for your reception to hiring a theater group to stage the entertainment,
brides and grooms are finding ways to turn their weddings into opportunities for giving back. You can transform almost every aspect of a wedding, and even the honeymoon, into good deeds.
Turn conspicuous consumption into doing good. There is hardly a product that doesn’t somehow benefit charity these days. Cause-related marketing is hot among companies, and there is fierce competition to be the best one out there.
Show your kids how good it feels to give rather than receive by throwing a Halloween, kindergarten graduation, birthday or another type of children’s party for a cause.
The kids will love helping people or animals in need, and they’ll have fun too. Examples include assembling care packages for the troops to making catnip toys for the local cat shelter.
