  • I donate to my local food bank. I worked in their hydroponics garden a few years ago and saw how much work goes into providing food for the needy. They need all the help they can get.

    I also donate time and energy and a bit of money on a specific horse at the stables I volunteer at. She’s an old mare with an owner who doesn’t give a shit about her. Nobody really does anything with her other than me and another person, and that other person only lets her out to graze. I exercise the horse, groom her, give her lots of attention, and I got her a winter blanket recently.

    I don’t donate to charity, but I do donate to the Special Olympics in my area. My little sister is an athlete in it and she is thriving now that she’s part of something. It’s a really good thing for everyone involved and I want it to continue. I’ve never seen proof in my area that charities are actually putting donations to use in a tangible way. I’ve looked into it, too, out of curiosity.
