Online Giving Ideas That Will Change The World
No one can do everything but everyone can do something. – Max Lucado
Online giving is a great way to keep yourself happy at home. Right now, in someplace, somewhere out in the big, vast world—or even at your dinner table—someone is probably grumbling about kids and adults becoming more and more hooked on the online world. But aside from the Netflix binging, apparel shopping, and TikTok watching, the online platform can actually do a whole lot of good for the world. It can all be justified with two simple words: online volunteering! Stuck at home, while it might seem challenging to give and less meaningful than in-person volunteering, that’s far from the case. The internet allows us to give with ease, in a manner that can be just as rewarding and meaningful as that done in-person!
Check out these online giving ideas to brighten up both you and another’s day, all from the comfort of an online, virtual platform!
