This UC Berkeley article says giving generates endorphins

 

These good feelings are reflected in our biology. In a 2006 study, Jorge Moll and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health found that when people give to charities, it activates regions of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection, and trust, creating a “warm glow” effect. Scientists also believe that altruistic behavior releases endorphins in the brain, producing the positive feeling known as the “helper’s high.”

 

Or this Oxford university article, Friends 'better than morphine':

 

'To test this theory, we relied on the fact that endorphin has a powerful pain-killing effect - stronger even than morphine.'  

The researchers therefore used pain tolerance as a way to assess the brain’s endorphin activity.  If the theory was correct, people with larger social networks would have higher pain tolerance, and this was what their study found.  Friendships may really help take the pain away!

 

Katerina commented:  'These results are also interesting because recent research suggests that the endorphin system may be disrupted in psychological disorders such as depression.  This may be part of the reason why depressed people often suffer from a lack of pleasure and become socially withdrawn.'
