Here are some new and important
ways to make
meaningful social contributions:

The Hunger Site (www.thehungersite.com) is a website with a great new way to help alleviate hunger. When you visit the website, you will find a button in the center of the home page. When you click this button, a donation is made on your behalf by the website's sponsors. Each sponsor donates the money for 1/4 cup of food to the United Nations' World Food Program. More information is available on The Hunger Site. |
The following is a quote from the October 15, 1999 issue of the Washington Post:
Think of all the time you spend clicking aimlessly or fruitlessly around the Web. At the Hunger Site, one click actually accomplishes something: It sends a serving of food to a starving person, at no cost to you. Corporate sponsors provide the food in exchange for free advertisement and links.
Since its June 1 start-up, the site has sent enough money to the United Nations’ World Food Program to purchase more than 4 million servings of dietary staples; a WFP official calls it ‘an extraordinary testimony to the power of the Internet.’
The privacy-protected site is run without profit by John Breen, an Indiana software programmer who initially wanted to support Third World education but decided hunger was the priority. As his world map arrestingly illustrates, starvation kills 24,000 people daily, most of them children.

Visit The Breast Cancer Site (www.thebreastcancersite.com) to help fund mammograms for underprivileged women. |
NOVEMBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!
The Breast Cancer Site was founded to help offer free mammograms to underprivileged women nationwide -- women who will possibly go undetected, and even die -- without proper screening. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women ages 40 - 55. 13 million women in the U.S. over 40 have never had a mammogram.
With a simple, daily "click" at The Breast Cancer Site, you help provide mammograms to those in need. Mammography is the best-known method of early detection. And early detection is the key to a greater chance of survival and more treatment options.
The Breast Cancer Site was founded on October 23, 2000 by GreaterGood.com. Proceeds benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc
