Many Americans like to be able to provide military support and thank those who are serving the country. In addition, to thanking those who are actively serving though there are also ways to support those service people who can have served in the past. In fact, by making donations to veterans charities you are able to support not only the veteran, but the entire veteran’s family.
In a time when there are so many families that have so much and so many families that have so little, it only makes sense that we take time to help those who are less fortunate. Giving with a thankful heart, in fact, helps both the giver and the receiver. In addition, if your family gets in the habit of giving the things you no longer use to those who are less fortunate you can live a more efficient life. A life without clutter. A life of contentment.
Donations for Military Families Help Both Current and Past Service Men and Women
From charitable donations of clothing to materials that are used in the kitchen, the gifts that you give can help families live a more complete life. Anyone who wants to provide military support can pretty easily find a way to make sure that their unused items that are in good condition can help others who are in need.
Did you know that 80% of donated clothing in the U.S. is used by charitable organizations for donation to the needy, and for funding? The fact that so many groups can make use of the items that many of us no longer use means that even the smallest of donations can make an impact. In fact, even clothing and textiles that are no longer wearable can be recycled and used in other ways.
Fortunately, at many as 95.4% of Americans participate at some level of charitable giving. There is always more, however, that can be done. If you are looking for a way to contribute to the greater good it might be time for you to spend some time this weekend cleaning out your closets and drawers to see if you have items that could be donated to those who are looking for a way to make end meet.
