Charities

[JaniceSW]

I f you were quite comfortable financially, what type(s) of charities would you be most apt to support?  I tend toward those like cancer research, St. Jude's or Shriner's, those that provide basics to those who are homeless or in danger of being homeless, and perhaps scholarships to a few who show the ability and interest to further their education but would never dream of being able to do so financially.

I'm in no way wealthy but I contribute to animal rescues, a nursing home in my city, veteran charities, and Red Cross and Salvation Army.

If I could I would support St. Jude's, some sort of Pet Rescue, the veterans and those who have nothing.  I would love to be a "Secret Santa"!!

I am not rich, well to do or any of that.  I do donate clothes etc to charities.

I don't have a set criteria for which charities I support, but I have a booklet from the BBB that states which charities are legit. 

You can check them on their site or you can send for the booklet. It's very handy, especially at this time of year when you're getting hit hard by everyone.

I donate money to St.Jude and my Church.

Anything that has to do with helping the homeless, cancer research and kids.

   I do not give any money...because I do not know how these charities are going to use it.
My used clothing does not go to the dumpster. I wash them and place them in a plastic bag
and donate them to a local charity to help stranded populations: poor and homeless people.

Mines would just go to some charities I don't even know anything about but I would go for ones that is for kids.

I only give to special charities that I know are legit.   Toy for Tots ( through our local VFW)     The Angel Tree through our local Mall,,,,  and The Salvation Army through their Kettle Drive at our stores

Mine would be wildlife, children's and homeless shelters.   Like others here have said, I do donate clothing and household items to our local Good will.  I read about a woman and her daughter who filled large zip lock bags with a few items, pair of socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodarant, candy bar, granola bars and even a dollar or two and kept it in her car.  If they saw a homeless person they would offer the bag to them.   She said she kept a couple in her car at all times.  I thought this was a great idea.

[surveypro2016]

The charities I contribute to are health charities and local causes. I try to keep my money local if possible.

[mrisha]

I donate clothes, pots and pans etc every year.  I choose a different charity each time to donate every year.

[dsosnowski06]

I like animal charities/shelters. We used to give to the ASPCA but just don't have the extra money right now. I also like environmental charities.
