The giving season

Originally, I had intended to break down a charity every other day or so, but I've been kinda busy and that sorta thing takes time. So, rather than do that, I'll just list some charities and non-profits The Wife and I have supported in the past and encourage you to take a look at them if you're interested in making a donation this Christmas season.

Carolina for Kiberia - A multi-pronged effort to assist the citizens of the Kenyan slum of Kiberia.

Family Promise - The parent organization of the Interfaith Hospitality Network. IHN of Athens is a coalition of area churches and other faith groups which have banded together to assist homeless families in crisis situations, and help them find sustainable independence. If you'd like to contribute to IHN of Athens, then email its offices.

The Northeast Georgia Food Bank - Works toward ending hunger as part of an overall community effort to alleviate poverty in our community.

Action Aid - Helps supply the needed training and materials to impoverished communities across the world.

Thanks for the donation ideas. For people considering donating to heart research, here is a shameless plug for a charitable fund that I am supporting:

Scanlon Cardiovascular Research Fund
Thanks
