Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the annual charitable giving list for 2008! These are just some of the ways you can give back while indulging in the mass-consumer, gift orgy of the December holidays. I don’t get anything for posting this but a smile. There’s a lot on the list that hasn’t changed from last…
You know how much I love it when you can do double-duty with your shopping dollars. If you are going to buy something anyway and can give a portion of that money to charity why wouldn’t you? So I’m always happy to spread the news of new ways to do just that. At nonprofitshoppingmall. com,…
