A woman's organization that helps abused women and children! You can find one in your phone book. They need all the money they can get.

Second Harvest. They feed the hungry all over America. Great organization. http://www.secondharvest.org/

Thanks for this question! Right now it's The V Foundation. Started when college basketball coach Jim Valvano was diagnosed with cancer. From what they claim, 100% of your donation goes to cancer research, that's important to me since most charities only get a small percentage of the donation: http://www.jimmyv.org/showspirit/

This is for anyone else reading this - I heard about St. Judes Hospital, they treat children with cancer - it felt really good to donate to them :) I encourage everyone else to as well. The link is http://www.tg.stjude.org/

Christian Children's Fund helps children in countries that lack either proper education, sanitation, food, shelter, clothing, medical help or other things important to kids. They establish a personal relationship between you and a child that is great if you want that. I have had several kids, some moved on from the program. They write letters that help me connect with them and i know my contribution is doing something good. web christianchildrensfund.org
