How does giving money to support a cause fail to demonstrate that you care about that cause? Even a caring letter of support, would demonstrate caring, but giving money seems to go beyond that in proving you mean it.
- gscott 19y agoGiving money only and not considering volunteering is an issue. Money is great but volunteers make things happen. Sometimes lifes situation doesn't allow a person to volunteer at this time, which happens and is fine but to consider money as better then volunteering I believe is in error. When I was in my early 20's I too thought I should become rich and be able to donate in a big way, maybe enjoy some dinners in my honor for donating so much. Then after working 14+ hour days 6 days a week I found out that working so much was not making me rich and I had done nothing to improve anything not even myself.
- marvin 19y agoI fail to see how volunteering for eight hours helps a charity out better than working for eight hours at what I'm good at and giving away the proceeds. If the charity wants, it can make _any_ guy "volunteer" with the money I gave.
- gscott 19y agoIf your donating that much, great. It is still good to set aside 1 hour a week to donate your time. Try it just once.
