how to give.

feeling generous this season?  here are some ideas to give to those who are in need:

• pajamaprogram.org - $10 can put some PJs on children in shelters so they don't have to sleep in their clothes.  
• at icouldbe.org you can be a struggling student's mentor.
• send a holiday card to soldiers oversees at redcross.org/email/saf - they're free!
  
• $30 to madre.org can let a rural Afghan woman make a lifesaving call if threatened by violence.
• are you a knitter?  send squares to warmupamerica.org and battered women's shelters will receive afghans.
• at america.org just $1 will give a hungry family 9 lbs of food.
• trivia addicts and puppy lovers - go to freekibble.com - every answer sends 10 pieces of dog food to an animal shelter in need.
• $25=malaria medication to 10 children at savethechildren.org.
• regifters - give the gift cards you'll never use to plasticjungle.com.
• group giving - have a potluck.  then send the $35 y'all saved to strength.org to feed a child for a month.
• and finally, starve a landfill by deeming this month a no wrapping paper month by wrapping your gifts in newspaper, butcher paper, magazines, whatever you have lying around your house!!
