Shop to Serve!

It's difficult finding time to dedicate to local charities when they require a regular commitment. But don't give up! There is still plenty of good you can do in the world from the comfort of your own couch!

Download the “Do Good” toolbar on your computer to have 2.5% of your on-line purchases (at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, etc.) go to charity. As the site explains, "Just by shopping online, you can Do GoodTM , at no extra cost to you. Think about it: Just by doing what you normally do, shopping online, you can help other people and Do GoodTM in the world." Go to: www.dogoodtoolbar.com/Charity  (or, agoodcause.com )


Now buying anything from books to baby supplies can serve as a way of giving back to the community and it won't cost you a dime! (And when your husband complains about all of the baby expenses, you can argue that those darling shoes were a justifiable purchase because part of the proceeds went to charity!)
