I don’t know if you heard about this or not, but since you mentioned Habitat for Humanity you might. They are suppose to have this aluminum drive program, where you can bring in all your aluminum cans and they will use the proceeds to build homes. You get to help build homes and recycle. Awesome, huh?

Thanks for this, especially about the checking in on and helping the elderly. I love that my grandma’s neighbors check on her all the time.

What a huge and generous heart you have, Shelly. I think you have no problem listening to it and to finding ways to help others.

Owning a small business, I’m offered many opportunities to help folks with fund raisers and events in my community. I do what I can when I can.

Every day I’m open I look for the chance to do something nice for someone else. If a customer is a little short on the final tab, I let it go. If I sense a compliment will make someone’s day, I give one. If somebody needs to know how to do something, I show them.

I learned long ago that charity is more than giving material things. It’s giving freely your time, your knowledge and skills. Often I discover that I get so much more from giving than I ever do from being on the receiving end.

Thank you for this wonderful list today.

Good post Shelly and October is such a good time to write about charity. Close to the holidays and gives us all something to think and do.

One gal mentioned food banks in a recent post and now I buy extra pasta, cereal or canned foods to put in the box by the door of the grocery store. According to news reports around here, all the food banks are running low.

Wonderful post Shelly—I try to do what I can. There’s just so mnay wonderful organizations and people out there in need of assistance.

My brother passed away from AIDS 13 years ago and one organization called Be-HIV (beehive) was just so kind, helpful and supportive of our entire family, we all do everything we can to help them out here.

I also support the random acts of kindness theory. You never know when something as simple as a smile can change someone’s day…

Great post. AND….you HAVE to know who Britney Spears is!!!!!
