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!
