Charities on a budget!

I never give to charities that ring me up because they get too pushy.
I will always support local raffles.
And I give my time at the local neighbourhood house.

When I first had a steadyish income, I sponsored a child in Bolivia. I find this is a good way to make sure you're contributing while not having to put too much thought into it. They only take $40 out of my account each month and I know that the child and their community is greatly benefitting.
Another great way to give to the poor in a round-about way is to shop at salvos or vinnies, and go to the life-line book store. This way you can be buying the things that you need while also donating to a worth-while cause.
I find that if you are really struggling financially, the little things count. Give a dollar to the homeless man you pass in civic. Tip the window-washer a bit more than you usually would. It might not seem like much at the time but it all adds up and you know you're making God smile.
Help Caféstudy members by responding to their questions, or ask your own in Café Chat, and you will get the chance of earning extra rewards. Caféstudy will match these and donate equally to our two chosen Australian charities.
