Question of the Day - Thursday March 7, 2024

What are some charitable causes that mean a lot to you?


Because I work in homelessness prevention, affordable housing and helping people find stable housing and get out of poverty is one cause that's important to me. Other ones include mental health, disability rights, LGBTQ+ rights, human rights in general, environmental causes like addressing climate change, and ending systemic racism.

Cat/Animal rescue, Animal Right, Preservation trees/nature.

 

[neely]

Helping children with critical illnesses to receive a life changing wish. Also help to transform the lives of people with vision impairment by partnering them with a specially trained guide dog.

As far as giving money I give to a local charity that helps the homeless. They do more than just provide a shelter and meals. They provide things like addiction recovery, mental health help, and helping people with getting the things together like needed documents and getting someone to the point of being employable.

I also give to a local cat rescue. If and when I finally retire I want to volunteer a day or two there. I don't want to do the community outreach, not the right kind of personality for that. I can scoop litter boxes, feed, clean and give the kitties some attention.

 

[NY cat man]

We support charities like Wounded Warriors and American Legion, for obvious reasons, and also a local cat shelter, but not the SPCA, as there have been some financial shenanigans with the county shelter. We are on fixed incomes, so we have to be careful as to where our money goes.

 

[betsygee]

Mostly animal rescue and food banks.

 

[KittyFriday]

Addressing climate change, and also restoring natural ecosystems. Bringing back the tallgrass prairie. Reintroducing native animals, like bison and others. Fighting for clean air and water.

Ethical animal rescues.

Pushing back against poverty/homelessness and other often related things like domestic violence and abuse/assault.

animal rescue and the vets who need basic items,,,,,they come to the house

 

[Winchester]

We give to a local shelter. And we donate food to a local food bank. And last year, when we had an over-abundance of garden produce, we gave to a local church. This year, we are purposely planting extra. If things grow well, we can take extras to the church again.
