I used to do volunteer work here http://www.ardc-israel.org/en/volunteer
But now that I don' live near their offices I just donate a thousand each year http://www.ardc-israel.org/en/content/financial-donations

I used to do lots of volunteer work, not necessarily with charities.

I give some money when they come to the door. Recently they started wanting people to sign up for recurring payments through bank accounts, though. Fuck. That.

I used to volunteer a lot at a museum. I do some charity work. It's all aboutnot being a giant douchebag who just volunteers to get access to third world children for raping.

Why would I do that? I pay taxes, and part of my taxes goes toward alleviating the suffering of the less fortunate. Also I don't have the time or interest to do the research necessary to know what charities aren't scams. I'd rather just let welfare handle it. So I do ;)

I do only charity work that directly impacts peoples lives (like workshops for parentless children, helping out in areas struck by disasters etc.). Not really a big fan of donating money since you never really know where it'll end up and how much of it will actually help.

I make food for a soup kitchen or to pass out to homeless people on the street every now and again. That's about it currently.

Fuck the refugees. They made Africa shit, they do not need to spread the disease of themselves.

Yeah I hate this too. Even more annoying when they will only accept direct debits (recurring) and nothing else.

> Do you ever do volunteer work
Yep, but only if it directly benefits children (not in a to4str way) or animals. (Maybe old people too, but I haven't actually done that yet)

> or donate to charity?
There are so many charity scams that I have given up donating anything to any organized charity. Even the legit charities are a little fishy sometimes.

I just saw there's a donate link. I thought the JDIF was paid for by American, German, and Israeli tax dollars. Heh. I thought the JDIF was for people to make money sitting in their basement arguing with trolls.
