Thousands of hours... of my life towards the handicapped riding program and at my camp. I get paid for 8 hours of work a day at camp, and... the rest (often 8 - 10 hours of extra work a day), is volunteer. I love what I do, and I get to go horse back riding whenever I want and generally I have a good time... but it's stressfull. But definately worth the work.

I've also donated some pieces of artwork to my lodge, and to one private collection, and to the school... for an art sale (they made 78 dollars off my drawing! Go me!).

I also donate clothes that I either cant' fit into, or are too big (it's odd when parts of your body change at the same time, but in opposite ways). Toys, unused supplies... books... *shrugs* Food.

But mostly time. Which I personally believe to often be a better donation then just money. (You can't trust all of the organizations out there.)

nope.
never have, shouldnt think i ever will.
i dont like people enough to donate (and some wonder why im reclusive and disliked)
animals however i like, i volunteer for derbyshire county council when im feeling well (not often of late admitedly)
animals are deserving of what little compassion i have left.
people are not.

Well, I donated three huge egg boxes full of stuffed animals to the children in Iraq. It's nothing specail, but I hope that maybe I may have made a chlid a little bit happier.

I give to the salvation army bucket when I have spare dollars or change, and I've volunteered by holding can food drives. I also have given over 800 dollars for the church tithe but that's not a donation exactly.

I give when I can.

I have very few times, usually a dollar or so here or there. Actually, if my parent's know I was doing it at the time, they would have discouraged it. They wouldn't discourage it because it's not right, but because we have enough trouble providing for ourselves. Sometimes (though rarily) we are on the receiving end.

I've done a few things time-wise here and there, but there are very few opportunities around here and even fewer when you don't have a method of transportation. earlier today I was thinking about giving blood at our next blood drive. That's technically donating right?

Well, I donate canned food, clothing, winter clothing, stuffed animals and household items to all the appropriate drives my school organizes. It's 35% driven by "desire to help others" and 65% driven by "you're on the student council so you should be an upstanding, generous citizen (which I am not, not of the USA) and donate some stuff or look like a stingy, non-citizen git" thing.

I've donated to lots of things, my time for a local christian concert they help last year in getting it ready and advertizment for it. We do the good Smaritan's Purse at work every Christmas and I'm planning on helping with the specail collection for Easter for the Tsunami Victims, I've donated clothes to a local womans orginization for battered women who leave home with nothing.

I even buy things for friends all the time, just to make them smile. I enjoy helping others in just about anyway i can manage.
