I have done design work for a company called Givv.org. (http://givv.org/) They manage your mini-donations without having to fill out all of your information everytime for all the individual charities. They use paypal, so if you have a paypal account it is super easy to set it up. It is set up more for monthly giving, but it seems like a dollar a month to a good charity is even better than a dollar one time. :-) Happy Givving.Amanda McGlothlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-68916101547316643232009-12-13T16:31:28.458-05:002009-12-13T16:31:28.458-05:00Shoot!

I do several local events each year, to educate people and seperate the truth from the myths about eating disorders, to advocate for eating disorder patients whose insurance won't pay for the treatment they desperately need, and I participate in self esteem building programs for girls in middle school. <br />There are several great charitable organizations that I contribute to along this line, but the best one by far is the National Eating Disorders Association http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org <br />--EmilyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009731998987521586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-14222756739990111082009-12-13T06:29:52.754-05:002009-12-13T06:29:52.754-05:00"Note: I had to change today's charity be..."Note: I had to change today's charity because Share Our Strength doesn't accept donations as small as a dollar"<br /><br />Well, how stupid is that?

They have a student sponsorship program, baby milk program, food programs for the elderly and emergency aid to families in crisis. www.mayanfamilies.org<br />and<br />Water International - provides water filters to families, schools and orphanages. Thru a matching grant, the Florence Oregon Rotary Club is currently matching each $1 donated with $2.50!

They've been going since 1993. They improve the lives of women in developing nations, matching them with women in other countries. It costs $27 per month to sponsor a woman. This gives the recipient job training, education, rights awareness, and access to real work with fair pay, and sometimes access to business microloans, increasing their ability to support their children and to have better nutrition and housing. The benefits go on long after the sponsorship ends.moosefiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021948180320627992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-76548272304163660632009-12-12T22:28:50.483-05:002009-12-12T22:28:50.483-05:00Hey another good charity is the Elizabeth New Life...Hey another good charity is the Elizabeth New Life Center. It is a Pro-life Charity but even Pro-abortion folks should have no trouble giving to it. They give woman who want to have their child but cant afford to an option. Not only do the pay for the birth but they also help the mother take care of the baby after the birth. They also have drug rehab for the mothers that need it and help them to find jobs. They are doing a much needed ministry. Please consider them. Thanks. Good job as always.

Toys for Tots does accept money donations though the mail and its website.<br /><br />The Salvation Army.

Donations can be made online.<br /><br />United Nations World Food Programme. (http://www.wfp.org/) Donate at least one red, plastic up worth of food for as little as $0.50. Donations can be made online.<br /><br />Heifer International. (http://www.heifer.org/) Donates livestock, animals, and other sustainable resources to communities in need. I'm a bit hesitant to suggest them, because I'm not sure they'll take $1 donations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-21896551731499596052009-12-12T20:15:30.964-05:002009-12-12T20:15:30.964-05:00i havent scrolled through the comments very far, b...i havent scrolled through the comments very far, but did anyone else notice the halloween stickies still on the display case? like the BLOODY HANDS?!?!?
