Give to Charity This Holiday Season..For Free!

How to Help Great Causes Without Spending a Penny

Rhetta Akamatsu
It's that time of year when thoughts turn to compassion and giving.

It's also the time of year when money tends to be tight.

Luckily, the Internet is overflowing with ways that you can give to many charities without spending a dime.

For instance, Bounty has teamed with Chandra Wilson to designCards that Count, ecards for all occasions. Pick one to send to someone this holiday, and Bounty will make a contribution to one of three charities (Make a wish, The American Cancer Society, or The American Breast Cancer Society.)

At the Johnny Walker whiskey website, order custom whiskey bottle labels for free and Johnny Walker will donate to the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity. Just click on the Striding Man, join the Striding Man society, click on custom labels, and design the labels you want. Even if you don't use them, you've helped a good cause for free.
