I think it goes furtherthan tithing and giving. There are people that are in dire need of money for various reasons. Ever so often on the TV a network is featuring a family who has gone through some kind of tragedy and asks the community to help by donating to a trust set up just for that purpose.
If you see someone that is having a hard time fiancially, you can pick up some items that the kids may need. Some people feel funny when you give them money but will often accept items that are bought.
It's important to me knowing where the money is going and that most of it goes to the area that I have designated it to rather than to all of the people disgnating the charity. Yes, it feels good to give.
