How to give to charity
It made me 
"a virtue"
How I did it: I had a chance to donate some money to a prison literacy program and I did so. I also give whatever change I have on me to the Salvation Army bell-ringers during the winter holidays.
Lessons & tips: Find something you care about, research the organization/cause to make sure it is legit, and just give whatever you can. Even if you can't afford to give much, every little bit helps someone.
