A few weeks ago I donated some money to charity, nothing major. But then I realised that that was the first time I had ever done it. Have you ever given to charity?

Nothing ever substantial. That would require me to actually have money to give. But I would if I could, especially local charities that help children learn.

I hate it when people do good deeds to gain attention. Just yesterday someone on my Facebook posted a picture of a certificate she received for reading to children. Sure that is a fantastic thing to do, but she seemed over the moon when the picture gained a large amount of likes

We support local schools, donate to my wife's church, and to Goodwill.

Once passed a homeless girl who was wearing nothing but mini-skirt and fishnets with a crop-top in the heart of winter and feeling sorry for her freezing to death I handed her £20. She was very grateful and offered to come back to my place and rewarded me with all kinds of favors.

I prefer giving the money straight to poor people when I have the means to do so, no need for a middle man.

Yeah, always small sums that I never claim. $2 here, $5 there. Adds up over a year/life. I should give more.

Yeah. I also do a bit of volunteer work. I don't brag about it though. What I gift is my personal thing.

I've donated $50.00 to The Red Cross of America when that tsunami/earthquake hit Japan. Not the last one, you know, the one that actually did damage. I've also donated A LOT of money to Susan G komen for breast cancer.

I do that as well. I generally adopt a few children for a secret Santa type thing at a local Spanish church, and the preacher invites me to parties/functions but I don't attend for that reason. I don't want people thinking I do what I do for good publicity.

Yes, although I never respond to telemarketers or door-to-door people. I don't want to encourage them to continue doing those things.

I run three 5Ks a year and run a snack stand during my local Relay for Life for the National Cancer Society, donated $600 to roughly a dozen charities last year, and donated blood for the tenth time of Tuesday.

Local ones only. International ones I seem to keep reading fine print about how most of my money pays for everything up to the destination, but not after.

Money and time. Frequently. Nothing better to do.
