Hurricane Harvey relief

I donated recently to the wounded warrior project. One of my friends on Facebook (who is a former serviceman) was having a fundraiser on his birthday.

For stuff: Goodwill.

For money: My college. I should probably send them more money soon.

I already braved holiday shopping and bought some cool toys to donate to Toys For Tots. I'm waiting for the angels to be on the tree at the mall so I can do Angel Tree again. I have some old dog stuff I keep meaning to bring by the local no-kill shelter, and some canned/boxed foods I keep meaning to bring by the local Food Bank.

Crisis: Crisis at Christmas

I avoid donating to most charities (apart from thrift-store charities) because I might give $5 or $10 a year to a charity only to end up receiving weekly solicitations from those same charities for still more and more donations. They seem to not care or not know that, for many people, all the calendars, greeting cards and stickers aren't going to increase most donations. Meanwhile, I look at the costs involved with sending so many re-solicitations and think "the charities have spent many, many times more in their attempts to get more of my money than my meager donation was worth." Knowing this, I doubt seriously that a single penny of my donation went to help anybody but the charities' marketing departments.

I just bought the Care Package from Humble Bundle this morning, I almost forgot about it! 100% of the proceeds went to five different charities for some of the disasters we've been having recently.

Seems silly to boast about "Humble" Bundle, though...

I donated to Greenpeace to help with their legal fees fighting the Adani Carmichael coal mine project. If Adani get the go ahead, they will carve a huge channel in the Barrier Reef for their ships. There will be ships entering and leaving every hour, round the clock. Every ship that arrives will dump ballast on the reef before being loaded. The reef needs protecting. The whole plan is stupid and the government need a slap for encouraging Adani. They do not own the reef

I almost never donate but I donated to hurricane relief a while back when we were checking out at WalMart cuz WalMart would double or triple match it. I also recently rounded my change up to the nearest dollar when checking out at Domino's cuz the money went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. My girlfriend is supposed to pay me back for the cost of the pizzas & everything so it's not like I really donated. Before those places, the last organization I donated to was Emily's List & that was before the 2016 election.

International Wolf Center

I believe the Poppy Appeal. I don't support war but it doesn't mean the people injured in it don't deserve care.

I may have donated to Children in Need without knowing though.

I think it was some toys and stuff I donated to Value Village.

I am a blood donor for the American Red Cross and donated blood last month in mid-October.

An animal shelter. There was a dog and cat food drive but I didn’t have dog or cat food so I gave money instead.
