Teach Your Child to Give to the Poor: It’s a Good Thing

If you want to, have been meaning to, but haven’t gotten around to…doing something to help the poor, the starving, even right here in the U.S., you can start today, while at the same time teach your children the value of giving to those less fortunate.

Here’s an idea! Buy a bank or a box with a lid, or whatever you’d be happy to leave on your kitchen table, and designate one night a week as “Feed the Poor Night” and as everyone comes to sit down to dinner have each put some of their money/allowance in the box, which idealy you will send off together once a month to a reputable charitable organization that is effectively making an impact in caring for and feeding the poor.

Here are a couple of the organizations we can recommend:

>

Life Outreach

– feeds starving children in Africa, builds orphanages China for cast-away babies.

>

Operation Blessing

– food, medical, school supplies, clothes to America’s poor and overseas

>

Just One

– safe water, food, shelter, education

Desire of Nations

– HIV, at-risk children in Kenya
