Above and beyond his socially important and influential books, Dickens was a generous contributor to several organizations for the poor. He also served on Boards of Directors of sucho rganizations. He was personally involved in establishing and managing a London halfway house for prostitutes wanting to leave "the life." He helped many women move into the country into service jobs or even emigrate to Australia or America.
