How do you teach your child about charity?

We don't do enough, but I take dd (4) to buy a present to donate to Toys for Tots, and we take both dd and ds (2) to the grocery store and fill up a couple bags of groceries do donate. We also go through clothes and toys together and take them to the local donation sites together. Hopefully, we can start to do more with our time and not just our money.

This year again we'll be donating a lump sum in the family's name to Abandoned Baby Center in Kenya. And also a toy for tots donation...

I have my Dh give any money that he would have spent on flowers/candy or whatever to ABC...for like my birthday or Valentines Day. My xmas gift from Dh is also a donation to them...whatever he would spend on me for a gift I just have him hand it over to the charity.

And the PP is right... any amount is good! Even little bits over the year can add up big!
