Looking for a meaningful way to help out your community and give something positive back to the universe? Not sure where to start with a good deed? This quick list will give you some ideas of what even the busiest modern woman can do to get some extra good Karma in no time!

Donate Clothing

Looking to update your wardrobe, but need to make some room in your closet first? Instead of throwing those clothes away, why not donate instead? With several places to donate your old threads, dropping off what you no longer need but someone else could use, is quick and painless! The Emirates Red Crescent will receive your donation and sort it for condition and cleanliness. Have a few items that are torn or ripped and not fit to wear?  H&M stores now offer a recycling program for your old “less than pristine” clothing.  Either way, helping people and the planet is a great way to get some good Karma!

You can donate your clothes here.

Donate Blood

Did you know that you have the ability to save lives? By donating blood just once, your could potentially save 3-4 patients in need! Donating can also help you by reducing your risk of cancer and burning calories. The donation process itself only takes between 10-15 minutes making it a way to do a lot of good fast!

Reach Out To Those With Special Needs

The Dubai Center For Special Needs helps with the education and therapy of children with special needs.  The children also participate in art classes, pottery making, and learn to play instruments.  The DCSN website gives you multiple ways to donate, whether it be your time through volunteering or monetarily by sponsoring a student or in general.  Every little bit helps!

Donate Books

Who doesn’t love a good book! If you have a few books that you are willing to part with, or need to make a little extra space on your shelves, consider donating to The Book Shelter. This local initiative is located on the first floor of the Maraya Art Centre and is dedicated to providing books at no charge to the public.  What better way to up your Karma game than to give someone the gift of reading!

Foster a Four-Legged Friend

Helping an animal in need is a great way to put positive vibes into the universe! A visit to your local animal shelter provides many ways in which you can help. Some shelters accept donations of food, toys, beds, and blankets for animals. If you have some time, volunteer to play with or take them for a walk! If you are feeling even more charitable, why not foster an animal! Fostering allows the dogs/cats time away from the shelters and can provide them with a loving temporary home until a more permanent one can be found. Everyone wins!
