If it will help with your project, we'd like to inform you that on Tuesday February 14th, at 10:00 a.m. ET, Jane Pauley will be speaking with ‘Your Life Calling’ guest Jenny Bowen, winner of the AARP Purpose Prize, and community outreach expert, Barb Quaintance. Jenny Bowen founded “Half the Sky Foundation,” a non-profit that helps Chinese orphans overcome the pain of loneliness through foster families. Barb Quaintance is Senior Vice President of AARP’s Civic Outreach program, which strives to support non-profits and create meaningful volunteer opportunities. Visit http://www.aarp.org/jane to listen, or call 1-855-444-JANE (5263) to join the conversation. Also tweet questions using #askjane. |

I like the Habitat for Humanity Charities, especially , Restore, where you can donate home products, from furniture to lumber, and you can help to raise funds for their Habitat for Humanity Homes. It is a great place to find bargains for your own home projects, too! http://www.habitat.org/restores/stories/ReStores_Redesigners.aspx#P0_0 |

In Response to Re: Your Favorite Charities?: i like My Sister's Place in DC they givee shelter to abused women, usually with children; but what i like most about them is that they prepare thes women to live self-sufficient life http://www.mysistersplacedc.org/ Posted by Astra2012 That is a worthwhile charity. Thanks for sharing it. I have one too, that helps our wounded veterans to live better lives after the loss of limbs: They truly deserve our help and support! And the group Trucking4Troops is helping them do that! http://truckin4troops.com/index2.php#/rgallery1/1/ |
