Opinion: What can we do?

I was watching the news the other day, there are so many disasters and people in need. In every community there are folks that could use a helping hand. Now, I know these are busy times, and we all have hectic schedules. So here's what I propose:

1. Find out about an organization in your area that needs help. A good place to start is United Way International.
2. Volunteer your time, start small - say 2 hours a month.
3. If you can afford it, donate goods, services or cash. Give what you can.

What are your thoughts?
