About a month ago a good friend of mine sent me a forward with the URL for The Hunger Site. I was a bit confused as to how one could donate free food, but it was two weeks before Christmas and I wanted to try and do my part in helping a charitable cause. I was highly impressed with this site. It educates visitors with the alarming fact stating, "Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger; 3/4 of the deaths are children under 5." A map of the world with country borders dims when there is a death in that country. Yet it's so easy to help! All we have to do is visit this site daily, click a button, and we help save someone's life. I was interested in finding other sites that use the same idea of having sponsers advertise on the site to pay for free donations. Three other sites which accept free donations are http://freedonation.com, http://thehumanitariansite.org, and www.charity-frogs.net. The freedonation.com site uses the free donations for supplying food and medicine to children dying of hunger and disease around the world. The hyperlink marked Donation Totals shows you where the money raised from your clicks go. Thehumanitariansite.org uses the free donations to support international humanitarian volunteer work. The charity-frogs.net site is a little different. This is a one time shot, where your first visit to the site contributes $1 to the American Red Cross. It's nice to know that we can help save the world with just the click of a few buttons every day.
