Giving Back through our Local Charities

Giving back with your time

Giving back through our local charities.  It always feels good to contribute something of value to the society you live in.  If you live in Summerville, you have ample opportunities to do some good for others by involving yourself with a few local charities. It is not necessary to donate money. There are many more ways to become a good Samaritan by becoming involved with the efforts of a local charity.  

Non-profits rely heavily on donations from their community and appreciate those who give financially.  Many have time to give and many hands make light work and there is always something in need of doing.  If it is your desire to do something for the less privileged and for those who are facing problems in their lives, please jump in. There are also many benefits of being involved with the community you live in. 

Here are a few insights from studies that have been done:

• It makes not only the world better but also makes you feel better. Whether you decide to give money, your time, or energy, you will find that it gives you happiness and a sense of well being. The knowledge that you are giving back to society makes you feel better.
