not that we need to be recognized for the good things we do, but sometimes it's nice to knowhow other peoples' kindness are affecting the less fortunate.

i lost a bet to railrunner and agreed to make a donation to toys for tots. i "uped" the pot a bit to add more gifts. i'm not done yet and have other charitable gifts yet to give.

feel free to tell about your good deeds, whether it's a monitary gift or a random act of kindness. this is a "PAT ON THE BACK" thread.

 

[&:] I lost a bet to RR & I had to send him my nude cell pics ala Vanessa hudgens..


[:-]




well, I donated money & items to one of our co-workers
who lost their home during the So-cal Fires.
defenitely alot easier to give when it hits close to home & its someone you know..

 

I get so guarded when "donating" to the charity org's. after having first hand experince with some of them. How do I know if the gift actually makes it to the person that needs it? Lets say if I get a hold of the "hot" toy of the year that everybody fist fights over in the store and donate it. How can I be sure it makes it to the less fortunate instead of the persons kid that is collecting the donations?

M.A.D.D. (Mothers against drunk driving) put a bad taste in my mouthafter finding out Via public tax records the people running it are paying them selfs 6 figures. [:@]

 

May I suggest Marine Corps Toys for Tots. It's as legit as they get.
and thanks to Sweetee for being a good sport.

 

Yeah the Marines are about as non-profit as it gets...

Personally, I get tired of the vendors at the doors of any major shopping outlet. Now they hit you up in the parking lots [>:]

We have a homeless shelter here we donate money to and we're a continuing contributor to the local Police Activities League.

 

I always give my seat up to ladies on the metro ride to and from work.If there is a woman standing I should be standing that is my theory. That or my dad just beatchivalryinto me. Either way it makes me feel good.

 

I couldn't tell you how many flat tires I've changed on these New England highways over the last year. I carry a floor jack in my van just so I can help out when I can. It can be risky business changing tires on the highways, especially since we all drive like jackasses up here!

 

^^^it's people like me who appreciate people like you. i had a flat once and a kind man stopped to help me. i offered him $10 for his time and effort, but he declined.

another time, i left my purse in the grocery cart after i unloaded my groceries, a man turned it in and left his name. i called to thank him. turns out he ownes a tire store in town, so i give him my tire business. obviously he is an honest man.

 

i shoveld 2 neighbors drive ways and saved a freinds *** in the autobody shop
