Let's All Lend A Helping Hand

Today's post is written by my friend, faithful reader, and fellow blogger GoalieGirl.  Before I post her post, let me take a moment to congratulate her - she got 5 A's and 3 B's this semester.  She deserves major props not only for getting awesome grades, but for taking so many hard classes while working and managing to fit in a few hockey games here and there.  Now for her post:

For all of you folks who may not be able to donate money to charity this year:

1. Donate clothing (especially winter clothes) to the Salvation Army or Goodwill.

2. Volunteer at the local homeless shelter to feed the hungry.

3. You can donate just about anything to charity. just Google it.

4. You can donate yahoo points to charity via:

5. You can send phone cards to injured soldiers via:

http://www.navy-nex.com/
http://www.usmc-mccs.org/

6. You can donate frequent flier miles to charities via:

http://www.redcross.org/donate/donatemiles.html

7. I'm unsure as to how reputable these charities are but you can visit them and click to send donations via their sponsors. What happens is everytime you click, the sponsors on the webpage will donate on your behalf.

I hope this helps some of you. I know it's helped me. I'm about to donate all my frequent flier miles as soon as I decide on which charity to give to.

God Bless and Merry Christmas.
