better as a result.

THEY?
Below, I've included five
benefits of making an
effort to be more
charitable.

CHANGE
Donations to medical
research, education,
veterans, etc., are
transformational and
work to make the world
a better place.

6. 2. HEART
HEALTH
In studies, those who
were more involved in
helping others through
some form of service to
the community, had
lower blood pressure
than those who did not.

7. 3. HAPPY,
HAPPY, JOY,
JOY
Giving causes a release
of endorphins and
overall response of
pleasure.

LEVELS OF
STRESS.
Volunteerism has been
shown to reduce levels
of stress, which is
responsible for other
issues with the body.

9. 5. GOOD FOR
BUSINESS

charitable programs
improve employee
morale and have greater
worker retention.

Regardless of you are
and how much you have
to give, doing so can
make a huge difference.
