What Goes Around
Too many elk shirts from loved ones at the holidays? (Let's not go there, okay?) Well, this site can help you avoid more crap you don't need and help those you like to help. Everyone wins, and you don't have to stand in line to return that acrylic sweater.
I first read about this in Anna Quindlen's latest article in Newsweek.
You can find my givelist here.
(They could use a little help with those URLs.)
This is a good idea...
I'll shamelessly plug another...
My wife Melissa is Director of the Youth Shelter Network at the Night Ministry in Chicago. You may have seen their bus serving food and offering medical care to the homeless, year round.
Melissa is building a 24 bed shelter for 'emancipated youth' in Chicago and crosses paths with some very needy people.
If you're feeling like you'd like help, you can contribute your time to some very easy, specific things (as simple as wrapping gifts, making cookies, helping decorate for a party); or help them acquire specific things (like winter wear, new or used blankets, etc)... The need is year round but people (and groups can help too) are always welcome.
Please drop me an email and I'll hook you up if you're interested
Thanks
