Good ways of helping people
10:37:58 2024-03-02 2607

1- Donate to important causes.

Donations let you help the community even if you can't volunteer. Pick a charity or organization that you’d like to support, and donate to it however you can. A donation doesn’t have to be money (although you could certainly give money if you can afford to). Donate clothing to a local shelter, or bring non-perishable canned food to a food bank, for example.

  • Donate foods like unopened spices, canned soups, or beans.
  • Give toys to the local shelters and food banks. Many of the children who take refuge there don't have any toys of their own.
  • It’s okay if you don’t have money to spare! Don’t strain yourself when there are other ways to help people. Instead, look through your unused items and set aside anything in decent condition that you can give away.

 

2- Redirect gifts and ask for charity donations instead.

Use holidays and birthdays to raise money for important causes. It’s always fun to get presents, but you could celebrate by helping others, alternatively. Ask your friends and family to make donations to charities rather than getting you gifts. Sure, you’ll miss out on a few presents, but you can really make someone else’s day instead!

  • You could even set up a fund that they can donate to. For instance, you might create a fund to help low-income children go to college.

 

3- Stop to help people who need a hand.

Be a good Samaritan and do acts of kindness for people you don’t know. If you see someone on the street who is struggling to carry all their groceries or who needs money for a bus fare, do what you can to help them out. Be sure to ask if you can lend a hand first (unless it’s something simple, like holding a door). It usually doesn't take much to help another human being!

  • For example, you could offer to buy a homeless person a meal or a snack, depending on how much money you can afford to spend.
  • You might spot someone looking for their lost phone or keys and offer to help them search.
  • It’s important to ask first because some people might not always need or want help from a stranger. If they say “no,” don’t keep insisting. It’s the thought that counts, and there will be other opportunities to help people.

 

4- Promote good causes over social media.

Post about important issues to get others to support them too. Use your voice to advocate for people who are often forgotten and raise up other voices that are sometimes silenced. Repost the words of other people affected by those issues to elevate their voices, too. Be prepared to sign a petition, send an email, or call your local government representative.

5- Smile and spread positivity.

Positivity is infectious, and smiling at someone makes them happier. You never know when other people are having a bad day, whether it’s a friend or someone sitting next to you on the bus. By maintaining a positive attitude and smiling warmly at the people you interact with, you’ll boost their moods and make them more likely to pay it forward by spreading positivity to others.

  • For example, give a big smile when you see your friends and tell them how great it is to see them.
  • Smile at your next rideshare driver and thoughtfully ask them how their day has been going.
  • Make a point to be the kindest to negative people. Often, the ones who need help most aren’t always easy to be around—but by showing them kindness, you can change their perspective and lighten their mood.
