Start a small thing, such as waking up early in the morning, noon or even in the evening or before getting off work, finding time to do one thing, such as: helping colleagues pour a glass of water, saying goodbye, dividing more urgent work, giving a smile or making donations, etc. Before doing good work, you will naturally observe and pay attention to the surrounding environment and people. Compared with volunteers who serve in the unit, there is no need to consider time restrictions or special requirements. You might as well record your good deeds. After a while, you will find that you have done a lot of altruistic things. Not only does it feel stubborn, but it will also enhance the motivation to help others.

If they agree, they support donations, and even serve as their short-term volunteers.
