charities

Charity can take different forms. Most probably think of it as donating money to a cause, but it can also be those who volunteer time to a non-profit cause. When it comes to being charitable, do you think Illinois or Missouri is more giving? That depends on what you define as charity.

During the holiday season, we're all a little more mindful of helping out those that are in need. We do so by dropping our extra change - or even a few bills - into the Salvation Army's red kettles, donating to toy drives like Load the Lobby and Toys for Tots, or volunteering time to serve Christmas dinners to our neighbors who would otherwise be alone at Christmastime.
