Charities around the world are challenged by an economy taking turns no one can predict. Cash is always king to charities, but maybe your heart is bigger than your budget right now. You want to volunteer, but your schedule is stacked. Instead, turn your compulsion for social media into support for your charity of choice.
Be generous by using your time online spreading the messages of a charity. If you can’t donate dollars, chances are, someone in your network of friends, family and business associates will be able to give something. Socialize for social change. Choose a charity you have a passion for and share relevant information with people you know–and even some people you don’t.
It could be a shocking video, a compelling reason to take to action, a cry for help or a plea to pledge money. If it’s a worthy cause and the charity touches another person’s heart as it’s touched yours, you’ll make a difference.
