I collect scrap metal and regularly donate plasma that is then turned into much needed medicines.
I have also replaced all of my lightbulbs with the high efficiency twist bulbs.

What do you do?

I am establishing a company, charity, foundation, whatever you'd like to call it, for assisting people in a variety of areas. Of most concern would be friends and family of those with a health problem such as bipolarism, cancer, autism, etc. We provide counseling when we can, assistance with help when needed, and financial assistance when we can. The financial assistance is not for the medical bills. It is for helping to provide food, clothing, short term assistance with bills coupled with counseling and help on helping yourself out of a financial predicament, etc. If a family's money goes to the hospitals and treatment centers, then they often times find themselves having difficulties with food bills, water and electric bills, etc. We try to help in these situations. Maybe a family needs help finding daycare so they are able to assist their spouse in the hospital. This is not a non-profit 501(c)3 organization at the moment. Our resources have not reached that point yet.

The Diggers used to hand out free food they had scrounged from restaurants and grocery stores that would otherwise have been thrown out. We used to get a barrel of slightly stale bagels from the House of Bagels every day. Whatever happened to them? And remember the Diggers Free Store in New York? Piles of old clothes that you could just paw through and may find something that would fit you.

Were you a Digger when you were young?

I am a nursing student in Indiana and I've always had a passion for traveling, especially in Africa. For over a year now I've been interested in doing Red Cross work after I graduate. Is it all volunteer? Are nurses paid well? How does the Peace Corp work?

I'm trying to raise money for a children's hospital by getting sponsors for a bike ride that I will be participating in in October. My goal is to raise $6000, any ideas? Also, I am looking for corporate sponsorships from big companies (I figure that most of them have a charity fund), what would be the best way to get in touch with these people?

I live in a large city where the homeless population is as large as the small town I moved here from. It breaks my heart to see them on the street. I've made care packages with food, snacks and cigarettes (yeah I know, but I understand that addiction) but I know that's not enough. Where do you start to help these people who don't know how to help themselves? I'm looking forward to all feedback and opinions.

I am looking to volunteer at my local hospital a couple of hours a week and I look forward to it.

My question is what is the best way to act what is the best way to react in tough situations?

Also what are things a volunteer should not do? Even though a hospital has spiriutality when is a good time to talk about God when is a good time not to talk about God? Or should the patient iniate the conversation? How does one go about being a hosptial chaplain or someone to talk to the patients about spiritual things? Thanks for your answers:)

I've read articles saying that some very elite charities have been known to have people in it who were pocketing most of the money. If I'm going to sponsor a charity or cause I want to make sure than my donation goes to the right people, so how can I make sure of it?

I keep getting cold callers- usually from my mobile phone service (3 mobile) or wierd people I cant even work out- and they always sound like they are talking through one of those stephen hawkins talking machines, I am guessing its their voice and not a machine because there are alot of ums and aahs as they guess the next word.

I can never understand a word they say! its insane! and they irritate me so much!

does anyone have any tips on what to say to these people other then what and huh? as you try to decipher what they say!

I'd appreciate any advice as 3 mobile seem only to use such wierd sounding people and if I ever need any help, its near impossible!
