Have a great weekend.
Nice list.
With your #5, we have done work for and donated to them for years. Certainly, they offer a needed program and do not get as much support from the McDonalds Corp. as most believe.
Linda - They're everywhere.
Slamdunk - Good for you.
Colette - A variety, for sure.
Jan - Empowering women is so important. I'm going to check out yours, too.
Have a nice weekend. :)

LR - Happy Weekend to you, too :)
Alex - Excellent point about volunteering. Thanks!
Stephen - Good for you. And you're teaching your kids :)
viju - Thank you.
Mason - And all can use our help, in whatever way we can provide it.
VR - I looked them up since I responded to L.G. above. Very worthy endeavor. Thanks to both of you for introducing me.

I regularly give to Ronald McDonald House and Make a Wish and I've done my share of volunteer work and donations for our Animal Shelter.
A great list, Carol!

Reminds me we need to grab the winter coats we donate each year.
Thanks for the ideas on a few others.
You rock!
Tami
Arlee - You're so right about rough times.
Teresa - So do I. But if we can at least remember once a year, it's better than nothing.
Liza - You see it everyday. I'm sure your work is much appreciated.
Tami - A coat in the winter; a fan in the summer. Such small things might save a life.
Enjoy your weekend.
I would add a UK charity - Richards House Hospice for Children. They do amazing work.
Hope your weekend is a good one. x
Talei - I'm glad to hear of them. Thanks.
Madeleine - Yes...some type of hands-on.
A lot of people don't know that animal shelters need ratty old blankets and towels for the dogs to lie on and for towelling them dry after baths.
Also for most shelters, collect the little soaps and shampoos and such from your hotel stays (believe me, you pay for them) and donate to the shelters what you don't use. Hospice uses them too.
Excellent choices. We always give to Toys for Tots. Animal shelters are a weak spot in my heart. I'd be the funny cat lady with a houseful if I could. They all deserve a home!
