    I feel I'm giving back when I volunteer and I get out of it way more than I give. It keeps me busy and concerned about others so I don't think about my everyday problems or pains.

    I think giving back to others is important.If its on your own or through a organazation Because God has blessed many of us and there is always someone a little less fortunate and what better way to spread his love.

    I ask what is needed most. Then see if I or people I know have those available. My grandmother always taught us the importance of giving back to our community.

    I am in a position of knowing that it is truly better to give than to receive. I get the greatest feeling in giving. My whole world lights up. I know that I am blessed when I give because I open up for blessings to come back to me.

    I love to donate barely used items, or even items that we didnt open or take tags off. I cant always donate cash but I find other ways to be charitable

    I am so lucky to have so much. So by giving some of my clothes etc. I feel better to help someone who really needs them.

    Giving to others is very important. We just redid my daughters bedroom and instead of sealing her stuff we gave it to a family whose house burnt down ,they have 5 children and a set of bunk beds came in handy for them.The look on the parents faces and also the kids was way more than the money than we could have got if we would have sold it. Next time just look around and you just might find someone in need.

    I am so blessed to have a home, food, clothes and a wonderful family, and I try to follow Biblical instructions about loving others.

    If I had the time to volunteer my time, that would probably be my favorite way to contribute to society.

    I donate my hair to locks of love. As soon as it gets long enough, off it goes again. I always leave feeling so good about it. I know that somewhere out there is a little girl that needs it a LOT more than I do.
