I give back to my community by being a board director for our local fair association. I volunteer a lot of my time to help put on our yearly fair. We are also part of 4 - H and I help get things donated for the kids. It's a lot of fun seeing the kids learn.

Everytime I clean out my closet or dd's I donate to local shelter.

Everytime I clean out dd's toys I donate to local shelter.

I buy extra food for local food pantry (not shelter pantry, but for seniors)

$100 a year to local charities (all I can afford)

Volunteer at Animal shelter when I can (about 10 days a year)

In the rare event that I buy fast food & see someone sitting in the parking lot with a "help" sign, I buy stuff for them too.

In Winter I buy blankets at Thrift Stores that benefit local charities, keep them in my trunk, and when I see someone who looks cold give them one.

You don't have to be a millionaire to help. Every little bit helps those in need.
