One day I was driving towards New York and I saw some of the firefighters standing asking for donations so that they can run their firehouses. Since they were all volunteers, I gave them some money. It really was a great feeling since they take the time out of their families to volunteer their services to fight fires and they don’t get salaries (I presume) from anywhere but the folks living in small towns.
I know that due to these hard economic times, charities have fallen to hard times since many people who use to support them are out of a job themselves (I am one of them) but still I believe that giving to charities should not be stopped since these charities are all non profit and they survive on the goodwill and gestures (and of course money) from the people so that they can run their programs for the less unfortunate segments of society.
So I urge people that giving a dollar here and there will certainly not to any harm to you but will greatly help these charities in their operations.
