Now on to the second question.
Why Should We Donate?

2. We are making a change and impact
3. It benefits others
Now that we have made some points in regards to why we donate and why we should let's move on.
Ways we can donate.
1. Money
This is the most obvious way people donate. We give money to organizations who are doing work for specific causes. Whether a little or a lot, anything helps.
2. Our time
This means being part of a "Big Brother" program, spend time with residents of a retirement home, helping out at local sports events, etc. It could be anything that you enjoy doing, anything that rewards you at an emotional level. This could also include things like giving blood.
3. Our skills/passions.
You could donate your time to tutor someone on a strength you may have. You can make use of your skills or interests to make people smile. Whether it is playing guitar at a retirement home or joining Habitat for Humanity to explore your building skills. You with your skills or interest alone can make a donation to your community.
4. Give up belongings we no longer need
Clean out your closet and donate all those clothes you have not worn in years. Join a Facebook group for your city where people donate free stuff (I am enrolled in one for my city and it is wonderful to see people post all kinds of things that could help someone in need.
