Tis the season for Helping

While I'm not planning on volunteering at any soup kitchens again this year, Dori and I do have to get cracking on our Non-Profit Organization we're trying to get off the ground to help get books into kids hands. We'd like to be similar to FirstBook.org, which for $2.50 you can get a book into a kids hands. Our goal is to get schools adopted by groups to help sponsor bookfairs to get kids excited about books and reading. We'd be working with Synergia, an organization that helps promote and foster reading and education in very poor schools in the Philippines.

If you can do any volunteering that's great. MUG has a whole list for you to select. You can even go to Volunteermatch.org if you don't see anything you like. At the very least you can click on the following buttons, and if you can find any presents there some of your purchase gets donated to the various causes, gifts and donations together!

Terrific, Brian. I'm going to suggest one more, run by a friend of mine:

City Santa

I had the great opportunity of working with them for about three hours last Saturday, helping to stuff stockings for needy families. They're a great organization and can always use more volunteers.
