“If you want to be a loving person, don’t start by taking on the needs of the whole world. Start with caring about one person and build from there. You can’t do everything, but you can do
something. What you can do, you should do.” –Haddon Robinson

Why Donate?
There are a host of reasons to donate to PISI. For instance, if you donate to PISI you may gain certain tax benefits. If you donate, you will be able to help others and you may
get a tax deduction for your charitable contribution. Another great reason to donate is to reduce clutter. A decision to donate to PISI does not necessarily mean a cash
donation. You can donate by giving items as well. Are there things taking up space in your home/business that you could donate to PISI? A decision to donate can reduce the
clutter in your home/business and leave you with that good feeling that accompanies every decision to donate. Of course one of the greatest reasons to donate to PISI is to
help the less fortunate. If you have been blessed, making a decision to donate can help you give a little back. Have you had times in your life when you needed a little help
from PISI? Now that you are on your feet, why not make PISI the beneficiary of your decision to donate to charity? It is never a bad idea to return goodwill and if your decision
to donate to PISI helps someone who once helped you it just makes it that much more appropriate. Finally, determine the cause that means the most to you when making
your decision to donate. If you are going to donate to PISI, it only makes sense to choose one or several of our Family Programs & Services that matters to you.
We depend on the generosity of our donors to enable us to provide valuable services to communities. Your donations are put to good use, providing opportunities for a
better life to people and animals with disadvantaging circumstances by facilitating outreach services, creating jobs, furnishing homes, clothing families, feeding the
community, providing free training and cash grants. We use your donation wisely spending 90 cents out of every dollar raised from your donation on our Family Programs &
Services.
Donations that the Donor has designated to be sold by PISI are value priced and made available for sale in our eBay store. PISI welcomes donations of unrestricted monetary
contributions, pet supplies, usable clothing, appliances, household items, tickets, furniture, vehicles, books, real estate, office space, tools, house, electronics, and more.

Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures, and central to many religious traditions. This idea was often described as the
Golden Rule of Ethics. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness. Altruism can be distinguished from feelings of loyalty and duty. Altruism focuses on a motivation to help others
or a want to do good without reward or the benefits of recognition.
