Decorate a large jar or container, label it “Charity Jar” and place it on display in your home. Encourage your roommates, family members and other visitors to fill it with loose change or to designate a portion of their allowance/earnings to it each month. When the jar is full, donate the money to an agreed-upon charity. Charitable giving has a positive impact on the giver and recipient by enhancing connection, feelings of gratitude, happiness and a sense of purpose.
