We were thinking of having a free-will offering spagetti supper at our church as a fund raiser. And was thinking, perhaps I should gather the stats first from others who have done this in the past. Can you please share with us your experiences etc. Thanks!

I know SEVERAL people whose answers to Oprah's question were deleted, for various "reason". Anyone else want to share their experience of NOT getting star treatment before this question is removed?

P.S. If you LOOOVE Oprah, that's your gig, don't put it here; she's already gotten enough exposure on this site!

I've recently signed up for Red Cross and I specifically asked for an office volunteer job from them. And they said, they'd see what they could do. So today she left a message on my answering machine about a rescue action team (something like that) class and I call back saying I wasn't ready to go into the field and I specifically wanted an office job. (Which I am currently going to school for "office work"). A part of me would love to go into the fields of America, Africa, etc, (and it's a dream of mine) but since I'm not very active and kind of fearful of the floods that American Red Cross have to deal with and other disasters, I don't know if I could ever be ready. What could/should I do?

are we just recycling for the hell of it? are all our cans/bottles and newspapers just being thrown out anyway? do we sort and seperate all our recyclables for nothing?

i've heard that it costs the sanition companies more $$ to truck
the recylables to the recycling facitilies, so they just pay the landfills to take it like its regular trash.

i hope this is not true.

I'm wondering why Australians are so eager to help other poor nations but not their own indigenous people. The outback Indigenous people live in conditions to the standard of a third world country but it is like no-one cares, except for a minority. Can any one answer this question honestly.

i want to start my own donation, because organizations like the the salv army take $0.75 out of $1.00 that u donate. which is not good for anyone. I don't want to really collect money, but maybe clothes and caned goods for un-wealthy people or the homeless. How can i get started and can i get started without a permit or do i need a permit.....?

If you could fly over a village in Africa with 1,000 hungry children. And you had the power to save them but it would mean never flying again, would you save a life?

(One of my favorite songs is "How to Save A Life" from Grey's Anatomy, who sings it?)

Okay, here's my problem. My husband is laid off & yes, he can get unemployment...BUT there is a 3 week waiting period & he can't open a claim until December 10th, making the first check date Dec. 27th. We don't get cash assistance. We have 4 children ages 15, 14, 12, & one who will be 6 on the 28th. The older 3 belong to my ex husband who is almost 14 grand behind in support payments & I've called & called enforcement BUT they can't locate him to get payment enforced. I don't belong to a church & because I don't get public assistance I don't believe I can go to the Salvation Army to sign up for their program. We have $1300 in our savings, but we will definitely need that to eat & to pay our shelter costs. I inquired about Toys for Tots, which is an awesome program except they have one downfall, the kids pick out their presents a few days prior to Christmas...which means I would have to let my 6 year old know there is no Santa & the magic he gets in his eyes about Santa is the best part

I try not to judge but since she started she has bought her own house , changed all her furnishings, doors,new kitchen etc.Only a couple of months ago she paid for 5 family members to go to Croatia. She pays cash for everything
I'm reluctant to donate now. Would you ?
