Did you know:
- People who give money to charity are 43 percent more likely than non-givers to say they are “very happy” about their lives. Volunteers are 42 percent more likely to be very happy than non-volunteers. (Source: Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey)
- The happiness difference between givers and non-givers is not due to differences in personal characteristics, income or religion. Imagine two people identical in terms of income, faith, age, education, politics, gender and family circumstances, but one is a donor and volunteers and the other doesn’t. The giver will be, on average, 11 percentage points more likely to bevery happy than the non-giver. (Source: University of Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics)
Libraries are the ultimate in sharing. Donate to the JTEL, join our library, or volunteer with us. Be Happy!
