Portola Hills 5 Giving Tips under $5.00

I have spoken with so many people this year who are struggling financially and feel heartbroken that they can not give outside their family's. So I came up with a quick listing of 5 areas we can give for under a $5.00.

Check out these links:

http://www.smallcanbebig.org - A $5.00 donation makes a difference to a family who needs help with bills due to illness, domestic violence or other tragedies.

http://www.feedingamerica.org - A $1.00 donation (yes $1.00) will provide nine pounds of groceries to a hungry family in the U.S.

http://www.socks.org - $5.00 buys seven pairs of socks for a homeless person.

http://www.garden.org - $5.00 buys seeds for enough veggies to feed a struggling family of seven.

and this one is free ------
