ou don’t necessarily need to have deep pockets in order to contribute to charity. As the saying goes, if there is a will, there is a way! This is especially true when it comes to contributing to charity. While the most common option to help a cause is donating money, this is not the only thing you can do to help others. So, let’s find out how you could contribute to charity, despite not having a lot of money.
Organise a Fundraiser
Organising a fundraiser for a charity is a great way to raise awareness and money for a charity. It can be as simple as organising a bake sale in your neighborhood or school, or just putting up a Facebook post asking people to donate on your birthday. Raffle draws or old furniture sales can be a good option too.
Volunteer
Charitable organizations need people to facilitate their work. There are so many things to do – probably you can spend some of your time with the people in need, or work for a few hours in a charity shop. You can also raise awareness and ask people for donations.
Donate Blood and Plasma
You will be surprised to know how many patients depend on blood and plasma donors for their life. As any healthy person can donate blood in every three or four months, it can be a lifesaving option. It doesn’t even take a lot of time either.
Donate Gently-used Clothes and Other items
What could be simpler than donating your unwanted clothes and other household items to a cause/ So, when you go through a junk cleaning process, just give one of your supported charities a call. They will be happy to collect it from you. In many cases, you can also gift-aid your donations.
