I’m grateful for everyone who reads the blogs I keep. In my own way I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
This year I’m donating money and material goods to nonprofits making improvements in the lives of the individuals they serve.
At the end of this blog entry I’ll link to the websites of two nonprofits that I donate money to.
The first is the Black Feminist Project that serves Black MaGes (shorthand for MArginalized GEnders.) I found out about the BFP when an interview with their founder was featured in Women’s Health circa two years ago. They are an organization in the Bronx, NY that gives residents of the South Bronx fresh produce from Black Joy Farm on a sliding-fee scale linked to income.
The second charity I donate to is Thistle Farms located in Nashville, TN. They offer residential treatment for women recovering from drug abuse. On their website you can buy products whose income supports women throughout the world who are victims of exploitation like human trafficking.
This year I also donated clothing and household goods to a local nonprofit that gives donors a tax receipt should we itemize deductions on our tax return.
I recommend you seek out local nonprofits in your neighborhood to donate money or your spare time to. With little free time it’s often better for us to donate money.
