Charity is the act of giving money, goods, or time to those in need and can take many forms and can be done on a local, national, or global level. Charitable organizations exist to help people in need and are often funded by donations from individuals or businesses. Charities may focus on providing food and shelter for the homeless, medical care for the sick and injured, educational opportunities for children living in poverty, or disaster relief funds for victims of natural disasters. An important part of our society as it helps those who are less fortunate than us have access to basic necessities that they otherwise wouldn't have access to.
