Donate

Not everyone can donate money to their favorite cause, but don’t forget that you can donate your time. Whether you’re an animal lover, art enthusiast, or you enjoy playing Scrabble with people three times your age, there’s a place for that. There are so many different ways you can volunteer. The elderly, who are sometimes neglected and forgotten about, love to have company. They are great conversationalists and I often find that I take away so much from just listening.  Animal shelters have hundreds of animals that would love to play and snuggle with you and really just listen to you talk if you have some things you need to get off your chest. There’s also nothing like having the earth between your fingers. Plant a seed or two. Community gardens are always looking for volunteers. These sort of initiatives often support communities and provide access to fresh produce.
