[MonkeyMama]

We donate household items and a little cash every year to Childrens Crisis Nurseries in the area. A friend of mine collected for them every year, and so I continue to. I also give money to a local wildlife organization I am involved in.

This year instead of gifts I told my mom I would make a donation in her name - chose the humane society because it is a big cause of hers.

IF we have the funds I usually like to donate a good chunk to Res Cross and buy 2 new toys for Toys for Tots.

When the kids are older I would love to take them to a soup kitchen, etc., and get them more involved in giving to others in need.
