Foundations

There are so many already existing organizations that you just need to join or participate in.
  • Make a Wish Foundation (raise money for children with life threatening illnesses)
  • Habitat for Humanity (Build homes for the homeless)
  • Special Olympics (Volunteer to coach the athletes or raise money for the event)
  • Salvation Army (Donate items or volunteer to ring a bell at Christmas time)
  • Red Cross (Donate blood or time)
  • Kiwanis (participate in local service events)
  • Sponsor a Child (Fund a child in a 3rd world country)
  • March of Dimes (raise money)
  • America Cancer Society (raise money through Walks and other events)
You can also volunteer at hospitals (cheer up those poor people), food banks (donate cans of food), and local shelters ( they always need help painting or renovating). There is always something going on...you'd be surprised.
