Effective Ways to Give Back This Holiday Season
Giving back has always been a large focus throughout November and December. Between canned-food drives, giving-tree decorations, and financial gifts, giving back to the local community is worthwhile and there's something for everyone. To help you give back this season, take a look at our helpful do's and don'ts.
Do:
- Donate the necessities. Never overlook the importance of a first-aid kit, a package of diapers, or a thick, winter coat. Think about things you take for granted this season so that you can give a better gift.
- Donate diversely. Poverty can affect all walks of life. Consider donating shampoo and conditioner for the opposite hair type as you. Give gluten-free and meat-free snacks to food banks. Think outside of the typical donation box.
- Have a budget. Donating more than you can afford may hurt your finances, making it more difficult to give back in the future.
- Do your research. Make sure you're giving to a reputable charity where your goods, services, or money will be beneficial.
- Spread the love. You don't just have to pick one cause or Donations are greatest when shared - so pick a couple of causes close to your heart to help.
Don't:
- Don't donate junk. No one wants stained clothing or food that has expired.
- Don't forget about processing fees. Some organizations will charge a processing fee for credit card donations.
