This Week's Topic: The Helper's High
This topic could have been titled: "Don't Be a Scrooge!" There is real evidence showing that those that are more giving of themselves live longer and healthier. One large study found a 44% reduction in early deaths among those who volunteered a lot - a greater effect than exercising four times a week. Almost every study on longevity indicates one secret that makes people healthier and happier-HELPING OTHERS. Specifically, it's the dignity, the joy, the passion and the purpose of helping others that brings these beneficial effects, whether you're helping another person quit smoking, building a home for a family in need or mentoring a child at school.

Without charities and non-profits, America would simply not be able to operate. Which of the following responses is not true in regard to charitable giving?
