International Day of Charity: Support & Give Back Today
“Every good act is charity. A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.” — Moliere
Did you know that today, Tuesday, September 5, 2017 is the International Day of Charity? If you’re like me, you may have recently returned from a Labor Day Weekend vacation or even enjoyed a great cookout with friends and family on your day off on Monday.
Labor Day Weekend has ended and now we’re “back to life…back to reality!” As we get back into the swing of things to finish out the rest of this week, take a few moments and help make the world a better place by making a donation to charity on International Day of Charity.
Donations can be given to charities that support the environment, protect children, feed the hungry, or help worthy causes. Of course, with their being so many charities to choose from, it’s quite hard to choose which one to give to. We did some research and found some of the top 10 charities that are making a difference in the world which you could consider donating to. Check out the list below:

Hi, Hope you are doing well.
First of all, thank you for writing a great article about charity. We should admire the work of the foundations and people who are promoting Charity.
I want to share a great quote by 'Paul Bloom'
"We are constituted so that simple acts of kindness, such as giving to charity or expressing gratitude, have a positive effect on our long-term moods. The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community."
In my opinion, the secret behind living a happy and stress-free life is eating pure food, doing exercise, and giving charity.
Anyhow, thank you for sharing this excellent info with us. People should be inspired by you and start doing charity as much as they can. We need more people like you in society to make this world a heaven.
Thumbs up!
