Donating money is a great way to give. Charities can use donations to improve their organizations, directly help their clients, and add to their facilities or supplies. Many people decide not to donate because they think they don't have enough money to offer; however, every donation will make a positive impact on every organization. With just ten dollars, an organization is able to buy a meal, a new pair of shoes, or a dog toy. Don't hesitate, donate!
