Let's Teach to Be Generous : Donate Clothes



If you’re working with your kids to help them become more generous and giving individuals, then you’re probably trying to think of different examples of how to do that. Generosity isn’t always the easiest trait to explain, but when you provide examples of generous giving, it gets easier to understand. That’s where explaining the importance of donating clothes comes into play—it’s a small action that can help people understand the beauty of giving. If explaining generosity is important to you, then use clothing donation as your go-to way to explain the benefits of giving. Learn more about the importance of donating clothes so you can best explain how generosity makes an impact!

Helps the Environment

There’s such power in protecting the world you live in. Think about how good it feels when you start gardening, cut your plastic use, or take shorter showers. These are the sort of steps that you can teach your kids to take from a young age. They’ll want to protect the environment if you give them actionable steps to do so.

When they grow out of their clothes as they age, emphasize the importance of donating those clothes to people who might need them more. Explain how that provides more space for other items in landfills and how it reduces the rate and production of other clothes. Now more than ever, it’s important to emphasize protecting the environment, and making clothing donations is a great step to take for any person of any age.

Keeps Your Home Clutter-Free

It may not be the best reasoning to give your child, but if you’re looking for a way to motivate an adult to donate, then this is the way to go. Homes get messy, especially as you spend more time in them. Donating clothes and other home goods ensures that you’re keeping your home clutter-free. Rather than having all those clothes in your closet that you never wear, donating gets rid of them and gives your home the space it needs to breathe!

Aids Those in Need

One of the most important reasons to donate clothes is how many people it helps. It helps those who can’t afford clothes, disaster victims, veterans, and even people with diseases. When you donate to a charity that not only brings the clothes to a thrift shop but then turns that clothing donation into a monetary donation, you’re helping a wide array of people in need.

When you key in on all the different people that your donations help, then that’s an easy way to showcase the power of generosity and giving.

Builds Generosity

Lastly—and this is a big one—donating helps build a vital trait in all people in helping them to become more generous. Rather than living a selfish life, people who donate clothes are taking steps to become less selfish and more keyed in on growing and improving their generous nature. It’s a trait that everyone should have and should work to grow—no matter how old they are.

 If you want to start donating more clothes and living generously, make sure that you’re donating to a reputable organization.

You care about CSR; your Employees should too!

  In India, the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is widely prevalent. It tends to focus on what is done with the profits that the private businesses earn. It is an approach towards sustainable and equitable development and focuses on the triple bottom line of economic, environmental, and social performance. In recent years, companies have increasingly centered their CSR endeavors on creating opportunities for social welfare. Some companies might aim to provide free educational services to children, offer supplementary medical care, entrepreneurship skills to the rural population, and financial assistance to the needy. It might seem cumbersome to develop programs without a brisk return on investment that involves long-term investment, but such initiatives deserve significant attention from the companies. A firm now needs to focus on both: experiencing economic prosperity and being good corporate citizens . The organizations have enormous potential to effect change in t...

STAY STRONG INDIA!

Be it autism and intellectual disability in childhood, adult conditions such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and psychosis or dementia at old age, India is facing a challenge in terms of mental illness. It is no exaggeration to suggest that our country is under a mental health epidemic .   COVID-19 is already taking its toll on the world, causing deaths, illnesses, and economic despair. The Coronavirus has changed how we work, play, and learn. Schools are closed, social interaction is negligible and many people have been asked to work from home. Millions of people have filed for unemployment in the wake of stay-at-home mandates implemented to stop the virus’s spread. Millions of others who are still employed are now working at home, which brings its unique challenges.   The idea of not controlling an employee's time and not seeing them in the office daily feels like a loss of control and power, after all, remote working comes with its own set of difficulties...

BE THE VOICE FOR THE PAWS

  I n the national capital of India, a man was caught on CCTV attacking a dog outside his house.  In the state of Karnataka, a lady smashed 8 innocent puppies. 11 monkeys were brutally killed and dumped near a highway in Rajasthan.  A cow was run over and killed by a vehicle in Chhattisgarh. Wounded horses were used for marriage processions in Uttar Pradesh.  These are examples of some brutal and heinous atrocities against animals. Everyday there are many such cases. But a country which does not care much about murdering people, can never care enough about killing mute animals.    In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 lockdown, there were reports of sightings of various rare species of animals in the streets and on national highways. The absence of human movement and reduced pollution prompted them to roam freely. At the same time, many strays on the roads died due to lack of food and proper care. Just like humans are finding it difficult to survive ...
