Often, I try to highlight local Scottsdale and Phoenix charities via my blog. Today, I wanted to talk about a great website that has a more global reach. One of my favorite websites to visit on a frequent basis is The Hunger Site. When you enter The Hunger Site, not only can you impact global hunger, but you can also impact multiple other charitable causes, including Breast Cancer, Child Health, Literacy, Rainforest and Animal Rescue.
The premise of the website is pretty simple, by clicking on the link at the top of the tabbed pages, the sponsors of that page will then donate to make some kind of impact for the specific cause.
- Click on The Hunger Site link = 1.1. cups of food go to the hungry
- Click on The Breast Cancer Site link = 1 woman gets a free mammogram
- Click on The Child Health Site = 1 child gets lifesaving healthcare
- Click on The Literacy Site link = 1 child gets a book of their own
- Click on The Rainforest Site link = 11.4 feet of rainforest is protected
- Click on The Animal Rescue Site = .6 of a bowl of food is provided for a rescue animal
In addition to clicking on the sponsored links, each website has a large variety of items to shop from. Many of these items are unique and handmade by artisans around the world. Other items include cause-related gear. By purchasing these items, you actually make a larger impact as a portion from every sale goes toward the cause the item is being sold on behalf of. For instance, buying a tote bag from The Rainforest Site could equate to 1,145 square feet of land being protected.
If this is of interest, I highly recommend making The Hunger Site and its affiliate sites a frequent stop when you are browsing the web. It is a great way to make an impact on a daily basis that does not take up a lot of time. And, you may even find something special for yourself or someone else as you browse the various pages.
