How can we donate for Charities without Donating Money?
Not all needs are financial.
Many charities collect and donate clothing or handmade items.
If you’re not good at knitting, you can donate your hair to Locks of Love, which is a charity that makes hairpieces for patients that experience hair loss from any medical treatment.
This one might be easier for women or men who have long hair, as they require a minimum length of about 25cm to accept donations.
Donating money isn’t the only way to help others.
We can donate our time instead of money such as teaching various things, building some facilities like schools, houses.
While doing like these, you’ll likely learn some great DIY skills for free.
Hospitals and other medical facilities have a pretty consistent need for blood donations.
The Red Cross is more than willing to help you find a place to give blood nearby.
There are lots of blood donation center around the world, of course in Japan, so we have a lot of chances to donate our blood, if we want to.
I think that donating blood is the easiest way for us because it’s free and it takes a little time.
I would like to tell you about three benefits of donating blood.
One thing is you can check your health condition for free.
The second one is you can get free juice and snacks.
The third thing is you will be someone’s hero.
In short, you can save more than one life with just one donation.
Finally, some mobile blood banks sometimes come to your city, school, company... so when they come your nearby, please donate your blood.
