Please click these sites to give food to the hungry:
http://www.freerice.com/index.php

http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=1&link=ctg_ths_home_from_ars_thankyou_sitenav



some day it could be you.....

snopes says Hungersite is legit, and wiki goes into more detail explaining how it works, if you're skeptical.

you give much more, though, if you click on a sponsor's link from the hungersite page, so take the time to click twice, if you have the energy.

freerice.com allows you to play a vocabulary game to donate rice, and if you're ambitious, you can use a bot player that does it for you, generating a LOT more food. problem is, it may be getting abused

see wiki for explanation on that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRice

I know it's wikipedia, but their explanations of both these sites seem satisfactory

these don't seem to be scammers, like the 'charity' creeps who take free clothes and other goods, then sell them to support their gazillion dollar lifestyles, while actually donating a tiny percentage of their income to charitable causes

2. I click on the site you posted every single day, and I've done so for about
a year. I hope others do the same. It's a good site.

6. good idea. I hope others are seeing this and taking advantage.
I'm going to try to use that reminder to click this every day here, to remind others

if you can't do that, what else is there?

think I'll put "clicks to good guy sites every day" on my resume

that is, if I had one
