Have you thought about donating, but then let it take the back burner? Maybe you are faced with the opportunity when the cashier offers to round up your purchase or you are approached by a family member or friend that’s running for a charity. Donating can take all shapes and forms, whether you donate your time, items, or money – charities need it and honestly, donating is good for you too.

Donating Helps Others

This is obvious, but it’s worth mentioning. Donating helps millions of people around the world that don’t have a fraction of the resources we have. These people suffer often due to circumstances outside of their own control. They are suffering because of natural disasters, lack of advances in the country, and lack of proper healthcare. When you donate you help people that need it more than you will likely ever know in your lifetime.

You can donate locally or overseas. Locally, there are thousands of charities to choose from starting with those that help people suffering from cancer that need financial, physical, and emotional support all the way to the homeless who have nothing to their names. Donating makes a difference in someone else’s life when you take a moment to think outside of your own needs and think of others.

Donating Makes you Feel Good

Honestly, there’s research that shows that donating makes you feel good. Whether you donate time or money, you are giving of yourself. You are putting a part of you out there to make the world a better place.

People who think outside of themselves often suffer from less anxiety and depression. They are also better able to cope with circumstances that happen to them that may be outside of their control. You’ll have a broader sense of self-esteem and the ability to fulfill your own needs. This leaks over into all areas of your life, making you a stronger, happier person as a result.

Support Your Favorite Cause

Donating to your favorite charity is one of the best ways to support something you believe in. Whether it’s a charity for cancer, children, or any other issue, if you have a passion for it, you’ll feel better when you take part in it. Whether you donate directly, you offer your services, or you get involved in community events that have to do with the charity, you are making the world a better place, one dollar at a time.

We encourage you to find a charity that you believe in and do what you can. We proudly donate a percentage of our monthly sales to a local cancer association. We believe strongly in helping to find a cure for cancer while supporting those that are currently suffering. We want the best for everyone and feel that this is the best way that we can help. Every dollar that you spend with us helps us reach our goal to continue supporting the local cancer association in fighting this horrible disease.
