Charitable Giving in Uncertain Times

[vivwiley]

As we approach the end of this year, I know that many of us are acutely aware of the economic crisis facing the US and, indeed, the world. Some of you are in companies that are downsizing, or have friends and family members who are already affected

We keep hearing around here how many more people are asking for help and how many organizations, especially the food banks, are seeing their incoming donations dwindle, which is such a bad combination.

Going to be a very long 2009, methinks, and it's good to have the reminder of what tangible help we can provide. Thank you for this post with all the great links. Do you mind if I link to it in my LJ?

Feel free to link, far and wide! I'm all about spreading the word on giving this year (and, well, any year!). Thanks.

Thank you so much for posting this, particularly the Just Give site, which I think is absolutely genius for gift giving. That's what my entire staff is getting this year.
