The period of October to December is widely regarded as the giving season. It is a time when many people feel driven to do some good for others. But doing good doesn’t have to mean making big gestures; if each of us makes a contribution through one good act, we could create a better world for everyone. So here are ten easy and wonderful ways to be charitable and do good daily.

Amplify BIPOC creators on social media
Use your platform to amplify BIPOC voices and small enterprises on social media. It can help raise awareness of the issues faced by the community and help bring attention to their business.

Send cards or gift packages to healthcare workers
Healthcare workers show up to work their magic every day, putting themselves and their loved ones at risk’s way. Send them a message of gratitude with a card or a gift package as a token of appreciation.

Write to children at your local hospital
Send a card comprising uplifting messages to share hope and joy amongst hospitalized children. Kind and encouraging messages can come to their aid on the path to recovery.

Use your skills to help someone
Offer to review a friend’s resume or job application or help them prepare for an interview. Your opinions and suggestions might help them better their job prospects.

Bring stuffed toys to an animal shelter
Animal nonprofits often need toys, food, and other supplies to function optimally. So do-gooders can gift stuffed toys to their furry friends as they love them as humans do.

Donate clothing and household furniture
Donate gently used clothing and household items to facilities like women’s health shelters, immigrant programs, and other people who can’t afford them.

Build a free library
Share the books on your shelf with your neighbors, and find something new to read for everyone by building a small free library in your neighborhood.

Sign up for a first-aid class
Build your confidence by learning how to take action in emergencies or when someone is injured through first aid training.

Volunteer at your local soup kitchen
Help serve food or prepare meals at a local soup kitchen one morning to make someone’s day.

Foster an animal
Fostering a furry friend ensures they receive temporary care in a home environment until they find that forever home through adoption.

Besides these gestures of kindness, one can also donate money/materials as per your ability to charities working with cancer patients, immigrants, and others. You can also encourage others in your circle to create a network of good samaritans for a better, brighter tomorrow.
