How to raise a more giving child:

-Volunteer. Do something at home with your child. Project Linus gives families opportunities to make blankets for needy children, while The Box Project helps needy families.
-Share your old stuff. Have kids donate their old toys and clothes.
-Make a donation basket. Every time you go to the grocery store, buy a nonperishable and put it in a box or bin. When it is full, you and your child can take it to a shelter or food pantry.
-Try games like the World Repair Kit.
