There are many charities that are worthy, but what determines the worthiness? The people they help, or the way they help the people? Is it the way they manage the donations they receive? Is it the administrative costs or lack of them? Is it based on a celebrity being associated with the organization?
There are many important things to consider when you make decisions of this kind. Charities that I donate to include:
Salvation Army
Heart to Heart International (Ramona, CA)
Toys for Tots (Marine Corps)
Youthworks
Faithworks

The Salvation Army is hands down my favorite and the best in my opinion. They are topper and this is coming from a non Christian. I give them money every time they ask and I can not walk past one of their bell ringers with out flipping in a wad of bills, they are great, I just love them to bits. They are the real deal as far as Christianity goes and they have my eternal support and respect. The practice Christianity the way it's supposed to be without judgment, just help.

I live in a rural area that is usually overlooked by the big guys in any field--charities, corporations, government, whatever. There are no free buses, free clinics, homeless shelters, work centers for the mentally handicapped, etcetera. Out here, you really do fend for yourself, and your neighbors really do take care of you. So I try to give my charity dollars locally. The local food pantry, animal shelter (usually a collection of volunteers taking animals into their private homes), the all-too-frequent soup suppers for little Billy J's cancer treatment because his family is uninsured, casseroles for the harvest crew bringing in Farmer Y's last harvest for the benefit of his widow after he died in an accident. By far the largest "big charity" presence we see out here is the Salvation Army, in times of disaster, so if I give $$ to one of the big guys, it's the SA. They are very effective in difficult times and places.
