![]() Do you give to charity? If so, to which one(s)? This is not meant to brag about how generous we are, I just thought it would be nice to share with others some good causes we really believe in that others may not be aware of.
I used to give $10 or $20 to about 20 different charities throughout the year. Now I focus on just a few. SPCA of Erie County - I donate to them weekly through payroll deduction. St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital - same as above American Cancer Society - donated through work a lot in the past Best Friends Animal Society - Hubby & I found this place in UT. It was a total fluke, we happened to be driving by during our cross country trip in 2000 & saw the sign & decided to stop in. They do wonderful work - it's a no-kill shelter in the middle of a beautiful canyon. Best Friends Second Chance Boxer Resuce - This is the agency through which we adopted out Bubba. All volunteer, all non-profit. Second Chance I've also donated to the ONE campaign as well as the American Red Cross recently. I give clothes to Goodwill or the City Mission. |

![]() Wow Paula - that is impressive!!!
When I'm more settled financially and caught up with myself more I hope to donate more to charity. FOr now all I have to donate really in my time - I've not done anything here in Rochester yet - but I just found out how to become a dog walker at the local shelter lol - and there's a homeless shelter that I've been looking into volunteering at ![]() |

![]() I wish I had more time to volunteer, but I just don't. Maybe I'm making excuses & I'm just lazy, who knows. I think it's great that you're thinking about volunteering. ![]() |

And it's the thought that counts, right? ![]() No - I used to volunteer at this homeless place in Phoenix - for a week or two during the summer- three years in a row - LOVE that place. My dream is to be financially viable enough to take a year-long leave of absence from work and go work at Andre House in Phoenix full-time (They have a volunteer program - volunteers live and work Andre House all year) - it's just an amazing place and I've had amazing and life-changing experiences there. Until then, however, I'm trying to find the right place for me to volunteer here ![]() |
