They say charity starts at home. Nowadays, it actually starts directly from your smartphone. Our mobile devices are allowing us to showcase our integrity and commitment to service—engaging in numerous acts of kindness through our touchscreens that help improve the lives of others in our community, and globally. But with life proving to be unpredictably chaotic and uncertain at times, it’s become incredibly difficult to keep up with our humanitarian efforts on the daily.
Luckily we’ve been blessed with the gift of mobile apps, which have the power of transforming us into digital philanthropists. Be it assisting the homeless with shelter, donating meals for world hunger, or serving as a stand-by EMT, your next big contribution to society is just a tap away. Here are some of the best apps for giving back.
