Default How much do I donate?

The wood working shop did a very small project for me. The materials for the job were $2. How much should I donate for the work?

Whenever you monetarily donate, the donate has to be from your heart. Whatever you feel in your heart is the right number IS the right number. If you donate what someone tells you, it isn't a true, meaningful donation.

Cost of materials should not be a factor..... These wonderful volunteers do the work for various reasons and the money that is donated is used to not only maintain, and buy, new equipment but also to enable them to have supplies and tools to make toys for underprivileged kids in the area.
Give.....

I give $20, no matter how small the project, because I know the money is used for a good cause.
