There are so many amazing charities out there, and sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming if you find yourself searching for great organizations to volunteer or donate to.
6 degrees, is this really great site where you can search organizations based on their location and/or cause.
In our household we obviously have a lot of babies! So, we tend to lean towards charities and organizations that have to do with helping kids.
St. Jude is a big one. What an amazing organization, a hospital, a research facility, and more importantly NO child is turned away. We love giving to St. Jude, because we love everything about what they do.
Since having the twins, I've been especially interested in doing things to help out with March of Dimes, and getting involved in our hospital's NICU, even if it's just bringing sweets to the fabulous nurses there!
In my search, I stumbled upon a really great organization right here in Richmond.
With 3 kids in diapers I know how expensive it is to buy diapers. Luckily I don't have to make a choice between feeding my kids or diapering them....but some people do.
Capital Diaper Bank provides Diapers to these types of families.
It's shocking to think that some kids sit in a dirty diaper all day or longer, or that sometime families re-use soiled disposable diapers because they can't afford buying new ones.
Anyways, I loved finding this organization because I have a stock pile of packs of diapers that the twins never even got a chance to get in ( advice, don't buy a bunch of preemie or newborn diapers, because they don't stay in them long)!
They of course take monetary donations as well.
So take some time to do some searching, and do some good out there!
