I wanted to direct all of my readers to one of my favorite sites that I try and go to every day — not necessarily to shop — but to click. The Hunger Site is set up so that if you click on their “Click to Give-it’s FREE!” button, 1.1 cups of food are donated to the hungry. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it actually works. Once you click the button, the site displays ads from their site sponsors, and 100% of the advertisers’ money goes to fund programs that give food to the hungry. You can also donate money directly to help survivors of the earthquake in Haiti. So far, the site has raised $253,162 for immediate relief and health supplies towards Partners in Health, a non-governmental health care provider that’s been in Haiti for almost 25 years.
That’s not all you can do either. You can also shop on the site! The site has several clothes, purses, jewelry and other gift items that you can purchase. By purchasing from the site, the Hunger Site will fund an additional amount of food based on how much you buy. For example, I love this Priya Handmade Sundress (below), and I can get it for just $42.95. But more importantly, if I buy it, 50 cups of food will be donated to the hungry.
I definitely recommend checking out the site. The site’s 300 million visitors have given more than 500 million cups of food since the site began in June 1999. Whether or not you like the items they have for sale, just one extra click in your daily routine can help save lives. Don’t worry about forgetting to click because the site can send a daily reminder to your e-mail if you sign up for it in the top left hand corner of the main page. Does anyone else know any sites like this that they can recommend?
