What would be a good cause  for a group to make a donation to for the holidays?

Local Orphanage.\n\nOur company contacted an orphanage and they allowed us to "adopt" a child for Christmas.  The children had already made out a Christmas list of what they wanted. (mostly inexpensive items). We all took that list and bought the things on it. \n\nTo really make a child's day on Christmas you should experience it.  There were tears of joy and happiness all throughout that place!  They are real appreciative and it just really made their day.

"St. Patricks" on Franklin Ive donated stuff even a van once too them\nor any "Goodwill" (usually in the back of a store if not their own)\nI think my wife donates to the one on "hillsdale" By our house\nAlso you could post it in the free section of craigslist, and be specific of who you want to get it, this is more personal so it may be more rewarding felling. \ngood luck!

suckers to donate money

Traditionally, it is supposed to be the season of giving. To give unconditionally, as Christ gave his life for us. However, lately it seems too many times, to be the season of going into debt, and getting stressed out over what gift to give whom. It seems to be more about commercialism than anything else. My wish for this year, is for my friends and family to give something that money can't buy! Give someone the gift of friendship, the gift of time, or just the gift of knowing that we love each other dearly. I challenge all of you out there to do the same! Volunteer your time to a worthwhile cause, instead of going to the mall! Doing a good deed is a great gift, and it doesn't have to be wrapped! Happy Holidays to everyone!

Another idea is that you could go to a local orphanage and give presents. God Bless you all,♥

It all depends on what is if for. Since I will be spending this dollar, I believe at least I need to know what is it for. I would usually do it if it's for a good cause (feeding kids, paying for a hospital bill, etc). If you're asking for this donation to buy liquor, drugs, etc, I would rather send you an advice that hopefully would make you think twice about these topics.

Charitable alms-giving.

I would have to say for sure give it to charity if I did not have family.. If I had family.. I would give it to them and tell them to use the money to make money for charity..  What else would make them happy?? Giving is better then getting.. It makes you feel great.. and helps the sick, poor and downtrodden.. :)

That's a great idea to cheer someone up for the holidays. I'd love to do it personally, but unfortunately I'm time constrained and don't live near a VA hospital. Are there organizations that do this that I could donate to?

If they really needed it then why not.\nGet  people to sponsor you to do something (football match , run, silence, reading marathon). Garage sale.

There are so many deserving charities out there I would rather you donated it along with your $10 to somebody that is truly in need.  God Bless!

cant that money be used for some better cause and purpose

That depends on your definition of reputable.  Most charities that remain in existence are fairly well regulated, so your money will be taken care of.  The question you should ask is: What are good causes to donate money for?

Here is a website that lists several different charity "malls" where you can donate by shopping online.  \nhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1999/12/20/BU9281.DTL  Check it out!  Hope this helps.  I think it's great that you want to help.  Happy Holidays!

I've been ringing bells since I was about 10 with my dad, and my family always spent at least one night helping at a local community kitchen every month, not just during the holidays.  I hope to incorporate that tradition with my own children once they are old enough.  Oh and we always donate gifts to children in need.
