As a general rule, Seventh-Day Adventist do not celebrate Lent. Lent, as a celebration of sacrifice and fasting, is not given in scripture, but comes down solely through the liturgical tradition. As with all such extra-scriptural traditions, the Seventh-Day Adventist church examined its place in the Story of Salvation, and rejected it based on its sole focus on ritualistic personal sacrifice.
This type of church endorsed ritualistic personal sacrifice was a mandated in the Old Testament as a symbol of the sacrifice demanded of the Son of God. Christ, being the perfect sacrifice, took that upon his own shoulders for humanity when on the cross. Today, there is no more need for ritualistic personal sacrifice for the sake of personal sacrifice. The Adventist Church views it as an affront to the work of God, and a trivializing of Christ's own sacrifice for our sins.

What is Lent charity?
Okay, I am making a couple of assumptions here. I am assuming that you are talking about the Christian season of Lent. Lent in the Latin Rite is the English name for Quadragesima, the period of forty days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday afternoon that is a preparation for the Eastern Triduum and Easter. Formerly, it was the period of preparation for the baptism of catechumens and the reconciliation of penitents at the Easter Vigil. It has been this way since very early in the Church, and each day of Lent has had its own Mass since the 7th century. The season of Lent is primarily penitential, this is especially seen in the requirements for fast and abstinence, their substantial observance, of which, binds gravely." (Paenitemini, III, norm II.) Besides fast and abstienence, the whole Lenten season is to be penitential, with stress on prayer, reception of the sacraments, almsgiving, and the practice of charity. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980.
