Donate your time. Some charities don't have a problem raising money, but they have a problem getting enough volunteers to carry out their mission. For example, Meals On Wheels could always use delivery drivers.

I recently spent some time at a care center for the elderly - had a nice time just meeting people and listening to the stories. One can learn a great deal just getting away from the everyday and spending an afternoon there.

Will take the family next.

i feel the same way, but I think we are always saying that, really we could probably downisize how we are living and would have more money to donate. the more we earn the more we spend

I feel bad as well. But I think everyone feels bad about not giving around this time of year (at least in America). I think the real key is to find a real, renewable way to give throughout the year. If anyone figures that out, let me know. LOL But seriously, I think you need to get your own finances together before you can worry about others.

Helping to charity is not all about giving money.
This Valentine's Day, we can express our love to people in need. Giving a card is enough to make them smile..

I want to give you a reference from all the sacred books which were reveled by God almighty that if you are suffering loss in your business than do charity .It means you are doing business with god and god never disappoints a man and returns back more than a person.
