Networking for Good

People are suffering. Regardless of location we can band together some relief.
Google has a link on their homepage to donate through Amazon.com . Amazon.com has collected US $2,735,536.22 in donations so far for The Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund. This is Good. Click to add to the cup.

Also, Strengthen The Good is hosting a matching funds campaign for Hurricane Relief. I'm thinking of donating through them instead. Strengthen the good is one of the most simple, hopeful microphilanthropy networking concepts I've run across recently.:
"STG is the nexus of a network of bloggers committed to raising awareness for small charities around the world. Every so often this space highlights a new “micro-charity”—a small, inspiring charity, one with a real face and where $1 makes a difference—and the bloggers in the network link to that post, sending traffic, and awareness, the charity’s way.
We are incorporated as a 501c3 charity, and your contributions are tax deductible."

I'm thinking of joining Strengthen the Good with the 10percentclub community page....so I can link/feed the STG posts on there as they come up...?

update: Amazon.com's collection is now up to $4,158,962.62.!!

Care Package Donations

Passing this on from my good friend Ken Wheaton who is from Lousiana:

"Hey guys, I've written the following post to help out the refugees in one specific parish, St. Landry, my own home parish. I have a lot of Louisiana natives and friends up here in New York who want to do more than just donate cash, so in coordination with my friend Felicia, who's on a task force in St. Landry and is making the rounds of the shelters popping up, we've settled on this. Any donations or donations via links from you and big name bloggers would be mucho appreciated. Understandably, if you're IN Louisiana and getting this, you probably have better ideas of what to do to help. I'm just spreading the word.
