What's your favorite charity?
« on: January 28, 2011, 10:23:21 pm »
One of my goals this year was to give more to charity.  I would give here and there in the past but it wasn't organized.  Although I am trying to pay off credit card debt I still believe if you give you receive.  I started a charity account that I deposit a part of my check into and even if it's just $20 I can still give something.  At the end of every month I plan to give something to a charity.  This month I am giving to Donor's Choose.  I donated to them once a few years ago. 

Donor's Choose is an organization where you can pick projects to help teachers buy materials for their class.  I come from a long line of teacher and I know they do spend a lot of money out of their own pockets and time to create lesson plans to educate our children.  A lot of school districts can't afford to spend money on extra things so this way people can help teachers with resources they need to teach students. 

Of course you don't have to always send money to charities.  I used to volunteer at a soup kitchen and would love to volunteer my time more but with my schedule I don't always make the time to do it.

St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay.

I have donated to a nonprofit organization such as Farm Sanctuary. My financial circumstances have drastically changed over the past 1-2 years. If it weren’t so, I would still continue to contribute whatever I can afford to give to help the animals.  :bunny: :cat: :dog:

My favorite charity is a local one - Caring for Creatures - which is a no-kill organization that takes stray dogs and cats and finds good homes for them.

My favorite charity is March of Dimes. I have miscarried and have a premature infant. And everybit of money they raise either helps research or the family of NICU children. A great cause!

I like to donate books and sometimes music/videos to the used bookstore at my local library.

:cat: My favorite charity is the ASPCA. They care so much about the animals and give them the voice that they need. I adopted my baby, Neo (a Siamese cat), from my local SPCA and he is the best friend I will ever have.
