Charities & Causes

I'm on a disability pension and barely have enough to live on. So I have to be choosy and creative. There is a site called i-donate which sends you emails and donates money to your chosen charity via the points you accumulate.
I never give to charities that ring me up because they get too pushy.
I will always support local raffles.
And I give my time at the local neighbourhood house.

I agree totally with all comments. My hubby and I are on age pension, which enables us to live ok, but we still have to watch every penny. Rent takes nearly half our money and so on.We contribute to some charities by doing their annual door to door collections(which are volunteer basis unpaid) but are giving that up , I am on the do not call register, but I really hate the calls at meal times etc. I have a few charities I prefer to donate to and will continue to give what I can. My other pet peeve is the door to door gas/electricity/phone sellers who simply won't take no for an answer. I am on i-donate as well which although not big donations is at least something.
