Amidst all the contention and holiday preparation, I'm finding I'm looking for ways to make the world a better place, ways to make a difference.
Hence this thread. Please post ways and causes that you think are worthy of support that help make the world we live in better.

For starters, here's one:
The video is about Britain, but the problem is just as bad, or possibly worse, here in the USA.
There is nothing wrong with buying and wearing used clothes and quite a lot right about donating your used clothes to charity.

Can they be political, cultural or what?
Edit: for example a few political groups I know do yearly Christmas donations and such

I'd rather be non-political. There's already a thread for that.

Please donate to the BBF (Beerfish Benevolent Fund) for a one time donation you can feed an cloth Beerfish for a Christmas. For a donation of $500 you will get a signed autographed photo of Beerfish in a rabbit suit and a large bag of cat nip. For $250 you will get a msword created certificate of authenticity that you did indeed donate to the fund. For $100 you will get a partially used pen actually used by Beerfish. For $50 you will get an amusing meme posted by Beerfish to a thread in these forums in your name.
The clothing one is a good one, I have just gone through my wardrobe and fished out some perfectly good clothing which I do not wear. (This is especially important in a northerly climate like Edmonton where it is starting to get cold.)
Just an off the cuff one, as corny as it sounds is the simple cheap pay it forward kind of thing, if you are in line buying coffee buy the coffee for the next person in line even if you don;t know them,
As far as specific charities go my biggest donation is always to the Human Society/SPCA

I support monthly to Juegaterapia (a spanish organization that helps kids with cancer by donating games, consoles...) and recently I found Hope For Paws and I'm helping them as much as I can.

I used to do something similar with Operation Supply Drop which was basically: Video Games for Veterans and soldiers at home or aboard and...well I stopped once the founder of the movement basically came out and said it had been hijacked and was no longer servicing our armed forces...to the extent he wanted covered, or at all.

Please post ways and causes that you think are worthy of support that help make the world we live in better. don't give cash to any charity that has paid workers... other than that whatever floats your boat, although if you really want to do something that makes a difference then why not volunteer at your local shelter or group home & or donate food clothing or blankets for them to dish out, I used to donate time at a childrens unit and distributed clothing and food back when i was fit n able and had a job.... nowadays I sit at home and use the interenetz whilst making my teenagers do good things on my behalf

Does one care to donate to the "anti-roasting you on threads" fund?
Ha, I apologize for that terrible joke.
Regardless, humility is not above me; nor is offering support to those less fortunate. Me and my family has donated to the Catholic Church to help the poor, the JDRF, and I have given to the poor boxes a few times. I am certain I am forgetting a few, but the point is that me and my family give a few in funds and clothing here and there.

I am broke and have only little coin to spare, but what I can spare I give to the needy directly. I have heard of too many cases where big donation organizations kept nearly all of the donated money and only a fraction really made it to those who needed it. And thats just the tip of the iceberg, imagine all the fraud that never get uncovered.
One giant ripoff after another just to fill the pockets of some fat old soulless moneybags. Nearly all people are greedy assholes and I sure as hell do not trust anyone to give my donated money to those who need it. No sir. As always: if you want it done right you have to do it yourself.

I selfishly hoard my money to myself.
Honestly, I'd rather volunteer a bit than donate money.

Whenever I donate, it's usually actual goods. Like, the local Petco almost always has bins set up for donations of food/treats/litter/toys to animal shelters, so I have a habit of buying two of anything I went in for, so I can drop the duplicate in the donation bin to go to a shelter animal.

I give a very small amount of money (1$ - 5$) to beggars or people who gather money for cancer people, orphans or something like them, every month.
And I'm totally poor and broke. At least I have a house. No rents!

I know the food banks in my city are short on supplies, even the veterans food bank, and I doubt my city is the only one who's food banks could use the extra help.
