I also like to participate in charity programs like Dirty Girl or marathons that allow me to be active and support charities.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609030155206406866.post-40229040997092188602013-12-10T11:02:37.396-07:002013-12-10T11:02:37.396-07:00Thanks Brenna.

As for the request at stores when thry check you out, I don't get upset, and I know it's a good way for charities to make money. In the scheme of things it's just a minor annoyance.

And the food banks need help, so there's that. I think it's good of the stores to do drives around the holidays, but the need isn't just at these times. And yes, sometimes it's a little annoying to be asked at the checkout, when you were in there yesterday and gave then, but not overly so. I just smile and carry on.

They need help all the time! I'll try to do a little something extra for the people charities around this time of year. My grocery store has little coupons we can use to send $1, $5 or $10 for a food drive. That makes it easy for me to donate. One of my favorites, Green Beans coffee has a Cup of Joe program. You can send a cup of coffee to a service member overseas. I get nice emails from them, which really warms my heart. Nice post! Thanks for reminding us all about those less fortunate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698820496991305443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609030155206406866.post-78431958702767779452013-12-10T07:01:17.861-07:002013-12-10T07:01:17.861-07:00Thank you for sharing about Critter Care Charity. ...Thank you for sharing about Critter Care Charity. I donate to some charities and sometimes let the cashier add money to my bill for a charity. I really like the ones that round up my bill, so if it's $9.13, they'll round it up to $10 with the difference to the charity.
