Community Service

My local paper, as I'm sure everyones is this time of year, is running these tear jerking, heart strings pulling stories about local needy families. And asking for donations to help these needy families. Now, I sympathize with people that have just generally been dealt a bad hand. Serviceman widows and such. But a recent story was this woman, with five children under the age of 9, and pregnant with her 6th child, who was having a difficult pregnancy and couldnt work so they wanted all of us to go buy the kids something and donate to put them all in a new house. There were 4 different dads to these kids, 2 on the run, 1 in prison, and one actually paying child support. IM beyond ******* sick of being asked to support these women that cant use protection, get knocked up by deadbeats and then want everyone else to support their babies. If you know you cant support a child and are against abortion, then either use protection or give it up for adotption. Stop asking for handouts. ugh.

There is so much "need" in the world, and I have a 'need' to do something about it. SO....I want to start a charity or do some big charitable action. My big problem is I don't know where to start...I want to change the world, but how...? I need ideas for the charity and information about how to make it happen. If there is ANYONE out there that has done something like this before, PLEASE contact me! I would really love to pick your brain, so to speak.

Also, please post only serious comments....If you want to be silly start a post about silly things...thank you!

I am fundraising and want to produce a letter that will make people stand up and take notice and bring in the max amount of donations for the registered charity I am supporting. In an age when people are bombarded with various causes and have their own financial difficulties I can use some pointers. (Not event ideas),

I was walking out of the store today and a young woman looking hard on her luck asked me for gas money, I thought she really needed it so I scrounged up $5 for her. I walked to my car and she proceeded to beg from others (no luck). My curiousity got the best of me while I was strapping my baby in so when I left I followed her (we only have 3 gas stations in my town). The ***** ended up at the local indian casino and there's only 3 things there she could be spending money on (gambling,cheap cigarettes, or a quick "fix" if ya know what I mean) . I should have went in there and told her off but I didnt. Am I wrong now to feel so burned that unless it's the Salvation Army pot I don't want help another person on the street in need?

We need to raise money for the construction of a recreation center to add on to our growing Adult daycare for adults with developmental disabilities. We are a nonprofit agency on a very small budget. We need more space because we are the only adult daycare of this type in OKC.

I want to cook dinners for needy people in my area. I want to also make little boxes with essentials (soap, toothpaste, etc.) to hand out with the dinners. Does anyone know a good place to buy the food for the dinners or the soap and things for the boxes? I live in Miami, FL. if that makes a difference. Also if anyone has any ideas of anything else I can give that would help. Basically, I know what I want to do, I'm just having trouble with exactly how to do it.
