Charitable Organizations We Should Donate Too (BLOG 6)

I recently had done some investigating in what Long Islanders as a whole have to offer to the less fortunate people that take up a fair amount of our communities where we live. After browsing through various foundations, I found the perfect one we should donate too; Make a Difference - Long Island Cares, Inc. Long Island Cares not only collects food supplies for individual families on Long Island who are desperate for meals, it also provides hunger education, job training, children's nutrition, mobile outreach, pet pantry, school tools, emergency response and recovery, vet services, and several other services to people who are in need and/or willing to help. A main goal of theirs is to provide immediate food relief for people on LI. Not only can you donate food to this organization but you can also donate time and efforts into Long Island Cares as well. This organization is constantly hosting events such as Stuff a Truck that took place on November 24, 2014 in which a total of 8,500 pounds of food was raised throughout the whole day. Precisely 89% of their income goes directly to the charity and the remaining 11% goes strictly to advertisement and fundraising. If we decide we are interested in this organization, we are able to donate money as a class on their website listed in the link below. There is loads of information on their website and i feel that we should definitely consider this charity in the running as to what we donate to this holiday season.
