Do you Donate Items to Charities for the Holidays?  

Absolutely... no ringing bell of the Army though!

yes i donate to the toys for tots.

i have given in cash to spiritual
organisations to be used in charity
i have also donated blood for needy

Not any longer I don't, although I used to until I found out that some people we knew were abusing the system. Now I make a monetry donation to the Children's Hospital and other charitable institutions. These donations happen throughout the year, rather than at Christmas.

Every Time I pass a salvation bell ringer I drop something in the buscket. Here they help people in financial need pay their heating bills. Some day I might need them. Our Doller Tree store has a box of toys seting on the counter and every time I go there I buy 2 or 3. It dosen't sound like much but it's what I can give.

i do sometimes

Yes, I even get my kids involved. Even when I wasn't so secure I felt it was important to give to people who couldn't do it for themselves. God Bless those who gives to others because people need help and not a tax cut.

Yes, we regularly donate used but well-kept clothing to the Red Cross. I prefer to donate objects rather than money if possible - in this way, you can be reasonably sure that your donations will reach the people they are meant for rather than being wasted on administration or whatever!

always, but shameful to say, i often give those things that i dont need.. =.="

I always donate to Toys for Tots. I actually did that recently, once the Dollar General store sat their box out for it.

I always still send money to my old workplace in upstate NY, they adopt 100's of angels for the Christmas season. So I send them some money to go and buy for as many of the little angels as they can.

I also help my MIL with the family she adopts at Christmas time (and Thanksgiving). We always get gifts for the family and try to stock them up on food for a few months.
