At the end of 2011, my wife Jen and I decided we would give of either our time or our money at least once per week in 2012. We decided to donate at least two hours of our time or at least $25 each week. As we began the new year, many of our friends were interested in our new commitment, and so I decided to write about the organizations we work with and the experiences we have. The stories told here are meant to shed some light on volunteering - the kind of work that is out there, and the clientele that is served, and to provide information about who is making a difference out there, and what you can do to help. Please come back often and share our experiences as we move through our giving year.

Also, we are always looking for new organizations to work with, groups that are doing good work and could use either our hands or our money. If you know of a volunteer opportunity or worthy cause, please leave it in a comment. Thanks for your help!

Week 4 - Feed My Starving Children Donation

This was a busy week for Jen and I.  Because we had a scenery load-in at the theater, I was working long days all week, which meant that we really could not go volunteer anywhere.  Instead, we decided to give some money to the place we worked last week, Feed My Starving Children.  Please take a look at the week three post to see more about this organization and what they do.  These people make a little money go a very long way, with 93% of donated money going directly into their actual operations, which is basically finding the most hungry people on earth and feeding them.  You can also see more about them at their website:
