Wink ~Handing Out Money~

It's that time of year again...where we will soon see the Salvation Army ringing it's bell outside all the stores, wanting our money~
Do you give??
Are there just certain organizations you give to??......or do you just pass them all by??
Most people I see, just toss their loose change in the bucket.......I rarely see someone tossing in dollar bills or more~
Do you feel embarrassed if you walk on by, and not give a cent??
I kind of hate it if I do toss in a few cents, on my way in, then they approach you again as you exit.....and I find myself trying to explain, I gave as I went in :-/
Kind of frustrating all that crap is~
But, I guess the money they need, has to come from somewhere, right??

Well I donate money and usually do also ring the bell for several hours a year. We must by way of reason select where and when and to whom we give donations.

Small change spends as well as the green stuff no need to be embarrassed. Its' the thought and the money!

Each time you give no matter how little, or large the amount you role model to some one some where that giving is a good thing.

I donate generously to the local animal shelter.
I used to give to charities, but stopped when it became evident that they are not really charities at all, but big business.
There are numerous ways people can get help, but the animals have no voice. I believe they are the most needy.
