Dollar for dollar

It's getting close to the halfway point of Lent (hippity-hoppity, Easter's on it's way), and this year I've really been enjoying my "Lenten discipline" (and I have to thank my pal Jim for the great idea). For every dollar that I spend on myself throughout Lent, I'm donating the same amount to charity! You probably know that I buy myself tons of stuff, so my charity giving has been going great. I'm focusing mainly on children's charities (I found some good ones by reading what programs receive donations from Disney), and I'm really enjoying it - it feels good to know that when I buy myself a book or DVD, I'm also going to be giving to some other kid who needs the help. Here's my list so far - I think UNICEF may be next!

Salvation Army

Make a Wish Foundation

First Book

Habitat for Humanity

Toys for Tots

Starlight Children's Foundation
