My One for the Month

On Tuesday, Dan and I gave a whole bunch of our clothes to the Salvation Army.
We also went to the Computer recycle center in Santa Rosa and dropped off some old printers.
We did send a few computer monitors to the dump in Petaluma. They take them for free and recycle them to. We still have a few more monitors left. On our next trip we will take them to the Computer recycle place. I also donated a few pots and pans too.
We both feel happy to help out other people who need clothes more than us. Plus, it created space in our garage.

I like this website when deciding which non-profits to donate money to for certain causes. They give a 1-4 star rating depending on how fiscally responsible the charity is.

You can use their "search engine" to find out how fiscally responsible your favorite charities are (or aren't), how much money their CEO's are paid, how much money is spent on administration costs and how much money is spent on the actual program.

They also have a list of all the 4 star rated charities which you can narrow down by category (i.e. environment, education, animals, etc.)

Some similar sites are:
