Twenty-eight days. February only has twenty-eight days. Are
you ready to start the year off with a Charity Challenge?
Here are a few simple ways to make a big impact in a little
month:
1.
Pick a monetary number you are comfortable with
and donate that amount per day to an organization of your choosing. $1, $5,
$10…even .25. Any amount is appreciated.
2.
Donate 28 cans of pet food to your local animal
shelter.
3.
Donate 28 blankets to your local animal shelter.
4.
Donate 28 school supplies to a needy day care
center, church group, women’s shelter, etc.
5.
Read for 28 hours to residents of an assisted
living facility.
6.
Volunteer for 28 hours at a soup kitchen.
7.
Take 28 items from your closet to a worthy
resale organization or an organization that distributes needed clothing and
shoes directly to those in your community in need.
There are dozens of ways to
maximize your charitable giving in February, these are just a few. Add your own
and get out there!
Share your ideas with me! I would
love to see how you are helping!
