Games That Give


 Do you like to play computer games?
Now you can play for the cause!
More than 20 of the most popular "casual" games, all absolutely free, are now available here at The Hunger Site. The more you play*, the more you can help fight hunger!

How does it work?
Games that GiveTM provide a simple, free, and fun way to help the hungry by playing some of the most popular "casual games" of all time. The games contain sponsor advertising, and 70% of that advertising is donated to fight hunger.

Everybody wins!
The Hunger Site's charity partners get funding to help the hungry, sponsors get good advertising, and you get to play fantastic classics like Solitaire, Gems, Snake, Memory, and more!

Play the Recycling Game

Dosomething.org is the place for teens to find things online to do for others when they are off line. LOTS of interesting causes and activities to become involved with.

Go to their site and find something you think your teen would enjoy - then go to the site together and explore the possibilities.

Doing something is empowering and helps teens feel good about themselves.

Dosomething.org has come up with some fun online games. Here's one to try: (or go to dosomething.org/games/sudoku  and play sudoku - 70% of their advertising money goes to help their causes)

Small Donations Can Give BIG Benefits

The Child Health Site has put together eleven pages of ways you can help all over the world with donations as small as $1

Sit down with your children and see if they would like to donate their allowance to a good cause. (I'll bet they would!)

While you are at that site.  Look at the left margin.  Everything you buy from their store benefits children.
For example, Each "Good Times" Photo Album purchased (for only $21.95) will fund health services to save or improve the lives of 9 children.


we found this cute prayer box necklace that your teen daughter would love.  It is only $12.95 and when you purchase it, it funds services to help 4.5 children. There are hundreds, no thousands, of items in their store.  Check it out and start having your shopping help children.
