  • Charitable giving

    Just me being snoopy.

    What are your favorite charities to give to?

    I give regularly to my church, local soup kitchen, food bank, Catholic Charities, Food for the Poor, CNEWA, and Oblate Missionaries.

          I give to my church, the Salvation Army, and the goodwill. Once a year I also pick a cancer research fund to give some money to (last year it I picked ovarian cancer).

            We give to our church and also to individuals that we feel could positively benefit from an anonymous gift.

                I don't give, but I do tip 100% for honest good style service. I hope I can get to a point of comfort soon where I do give on a regular basis.

                  I give alot through my church, but then I also donate to four particular groups: Make-A-Wish foundation (granted a wish for my brother), Sunshine Kids (made life alot better for my brother while he was undergoing over 4 years of cancer treatment), American Cancer Society (3 members of my immediate family have had cancer, so I try to help support cancer research), and the Boy Scouts of America (I'm an Eagle Scout, and was in the scouting program since I was 8).

                      Our church is where we give the most to. We also support 2 Autism groups and the Navigators.

                        My favorite is our local, no kill, animal shelter. I just mailed them a check yesterday. I also support our local cancer drive, the local food bank and habitat for humanity. I also give to red cross and salvation army.

                              Yep, me too. My daughter just turned 16, and now she has decided to become a regular donor, too. And yes, Goodwill gets a lot of our unneeded items, too.
