Shop and give to charity at the same time, great site, please kick.
This group of websites allows you to click to give food to the hungry, fund a mammogram, feed shelter animals, etc.

It also has a wonderful shop where you can buy all kinds of items, and each purchase gives to the cause of your choice. For example, most items on The Hunger Site give 25 to 50 cups of food to the hungry.

Please think of doing some of your shopping here. The items are very affordable, and help with good causes.

1. This is a great site!
DU'er nosamj, who is no longer with us, posted it 3 or 4 years ago. I bookmarked it then and still visit several times a week!

4. It really is a wonderful idea.
I get a tingle when I click, but I suppose that's a little personal.

:D

2. Wonderful!
Their store is full of beautiful and inexpensive fair trade items. I'm going to come back to browse through there more a little later.

Thank you for posting that! :hi:

3. Thank you for visiting the site!
I figure, going there and clicking doesn't cost anything, and it helps. Spending money you might already spend on something else for Christmas presents will help even more.

I like the page where you can buy things to directly help people in need. Like feeding an American family for five weeks for $25 dollars, or buying school supplies or immunizations for 3rd world children.

5. Kicking up because
it's such a great idea and I just finished looking at just all of the fair trade items. Truly lovely and affordable gifts that feed people in need, too. Can't beat that, it's a win/win all the way.
