Donations to charity benefit people all over the world, especially in places where there might not be many resources to find what they need to get by. Every little donation helps even if it is just a box of rice or cans because you never know what people need. Donations can be large amounts of money as well and that has a great impact on foundations that are for a specific cause.
There are charities everywhere and for many different things. Some charities focus on environmental issues, while others focus on issues with families and people in general who are in need. Many charities and foundations focus on health, housing, food, and money. These are all important factors of life that many people don’t have, so those organizations have a great impact on people who do not have much.
Hurricanes happen, and many are so catastrophic that they blow houses down, and restrict people from getting resources they need like food and water. Different charities focus on providing these items by donations. There are also foundations that are hurricane relief organizations for the people that hurricanes and storms cause harm to. Feeding America is a charity that supports families by having food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens. This foundation has fed more than 46 million people through many donations.
It is not only up to charities and non-profit organizations to help people of America. Regular citizens can make donations to these charities and organizations to improve their funding and make sure they get more supplies to support those in need. Our own school has harvest drives and collections of supplies to give back to charities so people who need them can have. The Key Club is collecting socks, while HOSA is collecting hygiene supplies. Even though students can earn service hours for donating, they should still donate because it benefits more people than others would think. “I feel really great after donating, I love how I help people with them.” Deserae Arroyo, a freshman said.
Some people do genuinely enjoy donating to charity for many beneficial reasons. Since donating is a great thing to do and helps others in need, donating to those who need it can make you feel proud of yourself for making someone’s day better by providing what they need without them even asking for it. “Donating helps with people’s mental health because for some people, giving back is really nice to do.” Aaliyah O’Keefe, a freshman said.
Without charities and organizations to help those in need, there would be way more people struggling all over the world with no help or support. That is why it is extremely important to not waste products or food that could be for someone else who really needs it.
