You can donate farm animals to families in third world countries. This year I'm donating a flock of chicks in my sister's name as a Christmas present. Just go to their website. Very easy to donate. Thank you for everything!

Most food banks have very little overhead which means most of the money you donate goes to feeding hungry people. They also know how to stretch a dollar to feed the most people by making special arrangements with supermarkets and other food providers. I am always amazed at the meals my local food bank is able to provide with the money they have. Since dipshit politicians are cutting back on food stamps, I think it's more important than ever to donate to food banks. Nobody in this country should ever want for food.
