Free Ways to Help Haitian Earthquake 2010 Survivors
Visit this website: The Hunger Site (click here) .The Hunger Site is unique. There is a link that you can click once daily. Clicking this link sends 1.1 cup of food (usually dry rice) to places in need. Advertisers on The Hunger Site do not pay for advertising. Instead, they contribute food. It's that simple. Bookmark The Hunger Site and click daily. Sign up for email reminders to click daily.
If you want to take your giving one step further, order some items from The Hunger Site Fair Trade online store. The Hunger Site sells fair trade and organic clothing, jewelry, books, candles, home decor, coffee, sweets and chocolate. The Hunger Site sells fair trade, handmade cottage industry crafts, stationary, such as rice bag purses and handbags, hand beaded cell phone cases, wallets made from recycled tires, bamboo clothing and much more. Money generated from sales goes right into the pockets of men, women and families who made the items.
These items sold make excellent gifts. And every order placed through The Hunger Site sends more food to places in need. My mother and I have made a commitment to do our birthday and Christmas gift shopping through The Hunger Site. We feel so pleased when we have placed our order, to see how much food will be sent to those who are hungry. At no extra cost to us. Mom proudly shared that with our Christmas presents that she ordered from The Hunger Site, 200 cups of food were sent out. And we were able to enjoy fair trade gifts: a little set of hand painted Matroyshka nested cats for Emma. A lovely hand woven scarf made by a woman in Nepal for Molly. And other inexpensive fair trade gifts.
When you click on The Hunger Site, be sure to look at the tabs across the top. There are six linked sites that you can click daily to donate, besides The Hunger Site and I do happily every day.

Post a CommentGreat idea. Thanks!

MySpaced! Return the favor? http://tinyurl.com/yfnmrh5
and the guys loved their gifts! The recycled tire wallet intrigued your son-in-law and grandsons!
Thanks, Mar, for the opportunity to be a small part in helping others. Shopping at the Hunger Site is such fun, so simple and rewarding for those who participate as well as those who are the recipients of the gifts. the guys may not be as thrilled with their gifts; but they are unique and a far cry better that a tie or cologn. Love to all.
Really great way to help out when you yourself don't have the extra funds to make a monetary donation but still want to do something for others. Thanks, Marilisa!
Thank you. I will check out the Hunger Site. Sounds like a wonderful idea for someone like me who is on a fixed income. :-)
What a marvelous contribution to the efforts to assist the folks in Haiti! Thanks for sharing, and you will be blessed.
Will check out this site. Another great place to donate food is www.freerice.com, by the UN.
Great advice. I've been a fan of the Hunger Site and its associated sites for years. So easy to do something, even if you are having financial problems yourself. Thanks. I'll tweet.
