did you donate and help poor people this month?

[thetop31]

Every year, there is some special day, my family donate money to the mosque or charity. When I was in China,I usually give some money to the begger. especially in winter, they are poor and they need help!

We give to Toys For Tots, Feeding America, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation throughout the year.

My children have so many friends who have nothing, that I tend to give all year around, If I give other people the things they need I at least know the right people real did get it.  Or give money to the school so the teachers can make sure the right kids get it.

I donate food to my kids school's. I hope that helps some. If I could I would give more.

yes

I want to donate to the poor, but my mother is against donating.  She thinks charities are corrupted and just pocket donations.  I will be helping out at my local food bank later in december though.

I just went back to work yesterday after being unemployed since mid October... so no, I did not donate to anyone.

During these trying times I try to give to those who are less fortunate than I am. I have donated food to our local food pantry and coats to famiies who need warm coats. I am also aware that animals need help too so I donate dog and cat food to our local animal shelters. I do what I can and what I can afford and I am very glad that I am able to do it.

We paid a gal's court fines and driver's lic. re-instatement fee. My wife is a private teacher and has begun helping her study for the GED. I also went through the larder to give her some food as she was out of food stamps and the food bank ran out of food for Thanksgiving. I buy rice, beans and oatmeal by the 50# bag, so it was fairly simple to scoop some of each into ziploc bags.

I always try to put something in the Salvation Army bucket on my way out of the stores. I really want my kids to grow up knowing that the reason for the season is giving to others, not getting all you can for yourself.

I know some people that are in need and I have a large pantry so I take them shopping in my pantry when they are short at the end of the month.  I also give at the thrift stores I frequent by leaving the change in their donation containers at the Salvation Army and St. Vincent DePaul.  I usually try to give more of my time as a volunteer than of cash when possible.  I find it more fulfilling and I enjoy helping others in a meaningful way!

yes we give to local shelters and plus we donate clothing and food to loal shelters in our area.

We also donate to the local humane society. Can't forget out the fur-babies this time of year or year round!

[sands01]

Right now we are one of the people who need help since my husband lost his job. I tried to donate blood but my iron was low so I couldn't but I plan to go back since I am taking iron pills now. That is one of the only ways I can donate.

I also wanted to say Thank you for all of you who donate. Every little bit helps someone in need!

I usually donate clothes etc. throughout the year.  I wasn't able to donate  as much as my heart wanted to this year because my finances aren't what they use to be.
