Charities and giving

October 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Grace

Grace’s friends have been contributing to a fund to help others. A good discussion about what to do with it. Here were some suggestions:

  • Northwest Harvest. Even a country as rich as the US has folks who don’t have enough food. It’s also easy to donate. Either drop it off at Cherry Street which is 711 between 7th and 8th Avenues or most UPS stores like 227 Bellevue Way NE at 2nd and Bellevue Way.
  • The Treehouse this is a shelter for homeless kids. They have a store there that folks can contribute to and that you can buy things for “scrip” if you are disadvantaged. Girls seem to love the concept and contributing an afternoon there.
  • Kiva. This organization lets you contribute small sums for microfinance. You can actually see where your $10 is going to and the idea is that it is really a loan so you’ll get dollars back.
