Hey guys!

I am selling an item on ebay and I would like half of the proceeds to go to charity. I am asking for suggestions for a good, worthy cause to donate to. Here is a link to the item:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330083153993&rd=1&rd=1

I am particularly interested in causes that concern the basic necessities for survival; i.e. food, shelter, water. I am also open for any sugestions.

If you post a suggestion, I encourage you to check out the item after 8:00 pm, this Friday evening. I will have my decision posted by then. Thank you and God Bless!

,Ty Landrum

PS: Only legitimite, non-profit organizations, please.

Try DC Central Kitchen. They provide food to homeless people by getting restaurants to donate leftovers instead of letting it all go to waste. They also have a training program to help homeless people learn to be cooks so they can work in the restaurant industry. Then, they teach other organizations around the country how to do all this, too. Tremendous organization, feeds thousands of people every day.

I don't know your interests but.......

You could donate the money to.....

....... a local Animal shelter, in memory of Steve Irwin, conservationalist (died Sept 2006). Ask that the money be used for people who lack money in pet emergencies, or to spay / neuter.

.........donate to the American Red Cross or American Cancer Society to benefit "Future Children who need help."

..... contact your local library and offer to buy one or more books on their "we want to get these list". Libraries always have a wish list for good reference books.

...... call a local school and find out if you can buy used books for their library. About half - --fun reading.... the other half educational. Use book stores often have clearances of 25 cents each.

Establish a scholarship fund for a worthy student to purchase a musical instrument. Or to go to a national event from the school.

Pick any inner city school and offer to buy paint and brushes if they agree to get someone to do the painting. American schools are falling apart, literally.

Parochial (Catholic) schools are struggling. donate there.

Locate a favorite "cause" and donate to their building or future fund.

Send the money to any Appalachian church and ask the pastor to give it to needy local families. The Appalachian region goes from WVA into southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky,


Hope these help. Good luck.
