Hello fishes, I got an offer from hcl with 21(20 fixed + 1 variable) for 13.9 years of experience. I see a lot of amount going to compensatory allowance, and it is mentioned in monthly components. food wallet and holidays allowense are also included in monthly components with basic and HRA. HCL folks please help me understand what will be my in hand salary. Will I be getting all of those allowances mentioned without deducting anything? I have no idea about compensatory allowense HCL Technologies

Just donate to a well respected charity. They can do more good with the $1200, you have more of a guarantee its being spent on the right things, and they will already have contacts for families in need.
Awesome, I’ll check it out! Thanks!
I am trying to figure out the same. I’ve considered donating to a food/food bank or homeless shelter instead but appreciate the desire to give it specifically to individuals who need it. But haven’t thought through it all yet. Feel very lucky to have a solid middle class job where Both my hubby and I are still working and getting paid. Don’t get me wrong - could definitely use the $ but very conscious that I don’t need it the way some people do.
Yes I feel the same way! I would love to save it but I know there families really hurting right now so I’d like to do something to help
I doubt any family I’m America is in need. They all got checks. Send it to a third world country
A1, that is a very US-centric view
Hold onto it until you find someone. I wouldn’t give it to a stranger. Or buy groceries/toilet paper and donate it to a food pantry. I heard food pantries are not in a good situation. And the people in need will go there.
^ this! My family used the food pantry a lot during the last recession, it was a lifeline for us

This is a grocery supermarket in Colombia 🇨🇴 that is donating groceries packs to families that were left without jobs due to the virus. This is mostly
For people who make a living day by day. You can go online and buy as many as you want. With $100 you can buy about 25 grocery packs.
Wow this is awesome! I’ll take a look, thanks for sharing the link

I actually work for a charity. We're a nonprofit that provides healthcare services and we are being negatively impacted by COVID19. I can provide you with a link to our website where you can donate if you are interested
Such a kind thought! Used to work for County government. Most counties have a special assistance fund for those who need emergency rent, utilities, food, etc. You could give them a call to see how these funds can be directed. Also, local food pantries take online donations. Finally, check with local religious places of worship - they usually are contributing to multiple families in need and would appreciate the assistance. Take care & stay safe!
Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions. I’ll look into it
I've given some money to a couple gofundmes for a couple of my favorite restaurants/bars and their employees. Might be easier to find than a specific family who needs all your stimulus money

Ooh donate to your favorite restaurant workers
This is insane:
Are you trying to do it in US or another country ?
Send it to a local food bank. Or send it to your housekeeper.
If it wasn’t verboten to make “unnecessary” trips to the grocery store, the most impactful and direct way to give back is to just buy someone who is obviously struggling groceries. A charity or food bank may be able to purchase more raw goods for the money, but I believe the personal aspect of this gesture carries dividends far beyond the mechanical receipt of food from a food bank. It may foster hope in the recipient that wasn’t there before.

Half to charity half to local businesses in your area.

Humanity forward has a corona virus relief fund. It’s also a big backer of UBI.
Find a local homeless shelter and donate to them
I’m going to use the check to buy groceries and give them out to the local homeless people!
You can also donate to the Samaritan’s purse field hospital in ny here:
