Research by the Greater Good Science Center states that being charitable makes us feel happy, is good for our health, promotes cooperation and social connection, evokes gratitude, and is contagious.
What is Charity?
Charity means to do something for somebody else or for a good cause. Charitable organizations are companies involved in generous work that benefit the public. The Community Center of St. Bernard (CCSTB) is a charitable organization because we provide food and hygiene items to our community.
How to be a charitable person?
There are many ways to be a charitable person. A few ways are:
Donating money. It doesn't matter how little or how much you donate, it all counts.
Volunteering. Donating one's time is a great way to be charitable.
Donating supplies. Hygiene products, adults and childrens books, and prepackaged food are acceptable items that we take at the CCSTB.
Using your social network. Promoting charitable organizations on your social media platforms and spreading the word can influence others to be charitable.
Tie giving to your sense of purpose and identity. You may create or increase your positive giving habits if you see your generous intentions as a part of who you are.
Teach children to give. Children can learn to be charitable, generous, and kind towards others through their actions and words.
The simple act of extending a helping hand to charities can transform lives and communities to create a profound change.
