What Charity are you giving to this holiday season?
Do you give year round or do you prefer to just give during the holidays?
A local restaurant near our place is setting up a booth where you can leave used toys and clothes which they'll give away to homeless families this coming Christmas. I like the idea so I'm definitely participating. I'm not born from a wealthy family so I usually help in other ways aside from cash donations throughout the year by joining fund-raising events and being a volunteer in public school cleanup drives.
We do a lot of work with our local food bank this time of year and , sadly, it looks like this year is going to be very bad indeed. If you don't have a favorite charity I would urge everyone to give to their local food bank. They do good work and are always in need of assistance whether in volunteers or financial aid.
