Places to DONATE for the Holidays! - 12-13-2011, 09:02 AM


If you have any suggestions, no smarta$$ ones, please post here!

One of my favorite websites does a daily charity deal that allows you to donate as little as $1 and as much as you want to the charity they select that day: Cake Wrecks - Home - The 2011 Charity*Countdown

Amazon is doing a Toy Drive along with the Today Show. The list posted today is for Dallas, Texas! http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishl...ng=UTF8&page=1

Being a gamer myself I chose to give some to Child's Play Charity, helping provide video games to kids in hospitals! Child's Play

Ok, stupid question, but not being a smartass. Does the cake wreck site change daily with what the charity is, and then each day you check back to donate to each one?

Edit: Or I could learn to scroll. Please ignore said stupid question.

It looks like they have them all up at once this time. In the past they'd ADD one a day, but I think you could still donate to previous day options.

CakeWrecks got an update in August from one of the Charities they donated to last year:

If that isn't awesome, then I don't know what is.

Texas Children's is on their list. I was very happy with them when my littlest one was in the NICU.

Even better, they link to Texas Children's AMAZON WISH LIST!! Very cool!
