Do you....?

Yes I do. I give to the goodwill and a lot of animal right foundations.

Not really to charitable institutions. We have quite a number of relatives who are hard-up. To them, we give our old clothings, most of the souvenirs when my mother comes home from a trip, provide educational assistance for, and financial assistance most of the time. It also seems like, in our neighborhood,we have become a charitable institution in itself. For some reason, our house seems to be the only one in our street that's gets visited frequently by beggars and homeless people askin for food, clothing, money. Oh, I hear one at the gate now. hehe

I donate clothes and toys, also i give money to Saint Jude and the Disabled Veterans, and the World Wildlife Fund. I donate canned goods for the local drives and save boxtops for education for my daughters school. I also have been known to go and buy food for people i have seen sitting on the roads with signs that say will work for food. I think it is important that we try to help those less fortunate than us, we need to remember that we are all human and everyone needs a hand once in awhile.

Yes, I do; sometimes, a little too much according to my mother. I work with a school for disabled children in Kampla, Uganda. I send them clothes, school and art supplies, toys, and so on. I send them candy canes every Christmas. I also give money to Traprock Peace Center and the local animal shelter, especially when they are tabling in front of my local grocery store collecting supplies for the animals in their shelter. This, of course, excludes, my regular charitable contributions.

Congratulations to you. Good Karma will come back your way for your generousity. I too give, but because my finances don't always allow me to give that way. Instead I volunteer my time to organizations that help others in need.

I used to, to churches, telethons, coin boxes at the grocery store, Santas at Christmas, but now I'm kind of jaded. Over the last ten years I have worked with the needy and the psuedo needy on a one to one basis. Sadly, so many people who do not need assistance expect, even demand, their fair share. It killed my giving spirit to be approving people for need based benefits when they owned their own homes, drove brand new cars, were in school getting doctorates, wore more gold and diamond jewelry to one interview than I've owned in a lifetime, had professionally done hair and nails and would ask me to wait while they answered their cell phones and complained that they can't afford to pay their cable/internet bill. Now before I help someone I ask myself are they truly needy, or are they just not willing to give up the luxuries to which they have become accustomed? Whenever any of my children tell me they can't meet their bills I tell them they have two choices -- reduce their bills (give up the luxuries) or increase their income (get a second job.)

I will give any unwanted stuff to charity as it may be a help to someone else. I usually give a lot to the Macmillan Nurses but if I see anything I like or need that is appropriate then I will but it. I always put pet food in the trolley at the shop for the local charities and give to sticker sellers. I like to give regular amounts to my favourite charities, if we all gave a litte more here and there this world would be a better place.

Thank you so much. If it werent for kind and generous people like your self, the american cancer society would not of been able to help me get my mother to and from chem, and radiation. They gave me a 30.00 gas card once a month to help me, and they sent people to our trailor to build a wheel chair ramp.

I am selective about who I contribute my money to--as we all should be. Take the time to make sure your organization gives most of what it takes in to the needy and not to the executives and overhead of the organization. you will be sick when you understand how much of this money is squandered and not given to the people it is intended for.

I often donate clothing and other items to some of the local charities around my area. It is nice as they pick up once a month from our street. Typically I will leave clothing and some small items that I do not need anymore. I also recently gave some of my furniture to Goodwill and they mentioned something very interesting. They mentioned that over the past few years, donations have gone down and they attribute part of it to bidding sites such as eBay. People appear to be more financially strapped and are helping themselves before helping others by selling their items for some extra cash rather than take the tax break. This was very interesting to me and I can see how this could be tru.

I think that it is not the best way to help somebody, but always that I can I make donations the intituições of charity. However I think that the best form to make this is to vote certain in the governing of its country. Therefore They yes have the obligation to take care of population of its country well.

Yes, we give dnations to Goodwill, YWCA Homeless Women and Children's Shelter, we contribute to our local food banks and volunteer at schools for demos, programs and cafeteria duty.

whenever i can :) but we should always keep in mind not to give over used and obsolete items to the poor...

Since for years I made part of my livelihood entertaining people, I have always given back. This past year in my new town I have been contributing time to the local soup kitchen.

I do it when I can afford it.

We donate our clothes etc to the Salvation Army a few times a yr and we do the food drive as well on occasion but usually any non perishables etc that we have gets sent to some family members thta are in need...like right now I have a Care Package ready for Canada thats goin to my niece and her partner because the girls are having a hard time making ends meet so they definately come first...

i donate everything to the goodwill after i have a yard sale.we also donate to the united way every 2 weeks out of hubbys paycheck.i donate some food to the food bank but it so misused i dont feel its going to the right ppl

Well Poors are also humans and humans have no difference.We must help the poors more and more.I had experienced that more you give and more you will get or more you save more you lose.So following this quotation i also help poors with something that i have and they dont have it.

I give to two primary Charities each year: The March of Dimes and Elton John's AIDS charity. During the Holidays I give to the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign also. I give to at least two red Kettles every time I'm shopping During the Holidays.

I always give money.
