This Week's Idea
MAKE YOUR SUPER BOWL PARTY SUPER!
Ask your guests to bring over cans of food. Then donate them to your local food bank. Click for a food bank locator.
HELP HAITI
1. Send a card or valentine to Haitian survivors.
D1NT's partner, the GO Campaign, helps children around the world. GO is flying food and supplies to northern Haiti and will take our cards with them.
A simple message is best: "Sending love to you" or "Thinking of you." Mail to:
Do One Nice Thing - Haiti
149 S. Barrington Ave., #279
Los Angeles, CA 90049-3310
2. Donate to Operation USA, Red Cross, UNICEF, GO Emergency Relief Fund
I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
Do you have an old pair of eyeglasses, reading glasses or sunglasses shoved into a drawer? Would you donate them so some villagers in Guatemala could see better? A group of nice folks in Michigan will take your glasses to Guatemala in March.
All sizes and styles are welcome - children's sizes too.
Address:
Lorraine Jara (BK2HK)
P.O Box 131397
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48113-1397
One more nice thing: Could you put out a collection box in your school, office or house of worship?
BACK TO SCHOOL in Iraq and Afghanistan
Send school supplies, and help US Soldiers give Iraqi and Afghan kids a promising future.
Soldiers continue to request school supplies so they can fight illiteracy as well as extremism. Also, the gifts increase bonds of trust between the local people and our soldiers, enhancing their safety. Here's how to help.
