There are three T’s in charity, it is Time, Talent, Treasure. This is meant for all that can do what you can, if you don’t have the time or the talent then use your treasure, remember this all is if you are able. Now that being said why look to national organizations to donate when right here in your local neighborhoods we have people who are hungry, children with no coats or shoes, schools that need books, etc… you get the picture. If you can join a local organization like the Knights of Columbus, Lions, or Rotary Club that can guide you with your abilities all the better. We all heard of BOGO’s. My wife still thinks she’s feeding a family of five so we give to the local food pantries. I’m writing this not so people can knock one organization over another or one charity or another but let’s help starting in our own backyard and work our way out. My mother use to say “do the best you can with what you got”.
