However, it is what you make of it.
I challenge you, readers, to go out and give your time, talent or treasure to your favorite local, regional, national or international group. Start today and make it a habit. Dahey and I are in our 15th year supporting many groups from religious organizations to housing corporations to food security and holiday giving groups. One of our favorites is this one for war veterans (amputees, spinal cord injury, or TBI) which we found when a local guy was raising money for his house. See, rehab related!
Not sure who to pick? Check sites such as Charity Navigator or Charity Watch. Ask questions, too, like how much of my donation actually goes to research, your target audience, etc. Who cares about pretty stationery if they spend too much on what they mail you!
Pick charities that work with your own beliefs, philosophies, and who give a large portion of their donations directly to folks in need. Check with your tax adviser re:deductions.
All in all, give whatever you can today whether it is your time, talent or treasure, and don't forget to share your #unselfie.
It is greatly appreciated.
Stay tuned...
