What are your favorite charities/causes?
I'm making a monthly donation through Emi Beans to a variety of charities (a percentage of sales each month) and was hoping that you fine ladies would recommend some of your favorites.

I can't promise all will be used, or what order they'll be in, but soon you'll be able to see the featured charity each month at Emi Beans. Thank you for your help!

Are you an organ donor? Does your family know? Visit www.donatelife.net for information about organ donation. If you are not an organ donor, why not? Think about it, you could save many lives by becoming an organ donor.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

When I was doing Team in Training, I remember reading or hearing somewhere that they have one of the highest rates of money donated actually being used for research purposes rather than administrative costs -- something like 72% or higher.

Leukemia is the #1 killer of children under the age of 15 and that just tears me up.

Well, different from the previous posters, but:
La Leche League!

I truly believe that breastfeeding is important on so many levels:
health
social justice
economics
not to mention the "feel good" stuff.

OT X-Post from Market (but I really want your input!)
Emi Beans is donating a percentage of sales each month to various charities, and I would love to donate to causes that are near and dear to the hearts of the women at AW. If you have a favorite charity, will you post it here, or pm me, so I can compile a list of suggestions? I can't promise all will be used or what order they'll be in, but you'll be able to see on the site (monthly) the charity receiving the donation.

Thanks!!

Adding my plug for La Leche League. I'm also a big supporter of Co-op America and their National Green Pages. Sierra Club, too. Also American Lung Association. Right on with Breast cancer Research too. Donated my hair to Locks of Love. Anything that helps children!

Ditto on the Heifer org. This year we only gave the kids gifts at the holidays. The rest of our family friends etc. got donations in thier name made to Heifer. Too cool.
