Why is it when a online charity comes on. they mention just a few charities?
I am a Freemason. I donate to it by the way of the Festive Board, and other means. Sometimes, there is a requirement for a item to be purchased. We all give from our pockets or such like.

Yes, Freemasons do do many charitable good works. Was anyone questioning that? And many groups not just christians engage in charitable works, so the question as to whether or not Freemasons are Christian is a bit of a furfy in this context. (and it seems from a quick scan of these posts that even the freemasons cannot agree)

But the original question was 'why is it when a online charity comes on they mention a few charities?'

And I think that the answer to that one is obvious...because there are so MANY good and worthwhile charities out there that it is not possible to mention - much less support them all! (and groups such as the Quakers will never receive the kudos they deserve because one of their fundamental beleifs is about not receiving publicity) - and FYI most of my favourite charities have not received ANY mention on these boards yet either.

But regardless of whether our fav charity is mentioned, we should all be doing our bit, because there is so much that we CAN do that makes a difference for someone.
