Thank you for sharing this contest with your readers. Sustainable Harvest International is a non-profit based in Surry, Maine that could really use this miracle right now as several of our biggest donors find that they cannot donate what we expected from them this year. A minute or two of people’s time might just make the difference for Sustainable Harvest International in winning up to $1 million in this contest! Please consider giving one of your 20 votes to “Sustainable Harvest International” or click here: http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/707760?isrc=my_history

FMC Family and Community Services, provides a Free Health Clinic, counseling for the family as well as referrals for food, housing and employment to the Oak Cliff Community. We also provide a Free Summer Camp for Children of the 75216 and 75217 zip code.
We are serving more clients as the financial situation of more families is becoming more strained. Any additional funds would be appreciated.

Stewpot could sure use your help! We had to shut down an emergency shelter in 2009 in which we had served over 600 women and their children in the 20 months that it was open. The shelter helped women find jobs and permanent housing and required the children to be in schoolo and attend afterschool

This sounds like a wonderful idea. I have a non profit organization, the Chilren of Mtaya which supports a pre school for the orphans of AIDS in a remote village in Zambia. How can we be included in your list of charities?
thanks so much for any information you can give me.
Best regards

Our Dear Friend,
I’m writing today because we stand ready, to help, but we can’t do it alone. Can you real help us to raise $ 29,000 to start farming Project for Overland Mission Tanzania by January? To your donation will help to start Organic cattle Farm/ Cows of the Blunders race, pig and chickens, as well as 100 hectares of non-organic wheat, maize and rapeseed. We will keep track of every dollar, and we measure our results

We are small an NGO. Though enabling the bush Pastors to free themselves from poverty, trying to save lives by providing clean drinking water to kids and family’s to the bush but also work in the field of environment.
And we will open our own chains butcher shops.58 percent of the population lives on less than $ 1 per day.
Three quarters of the hungry live in rural areas and including farming family’s .A significant number of region depends on basis food imports to meet their consumption needs. However not everyone can afford to buy food and the recent food price likes depend problem even more. It is an ironic that in regions so richly endowed with a high diversity of plants (at least 1000 of which can be eaten as green leafy vegetable), per capita consumption of fruit and vegetable is declining. Traditional diets of grains and vegetable are giving way to those high in fat and sugar, as the main producers and preparers of the food.
You’ll make a great difference in the lives Bush Pastor’s family struggling to live healthier lives, and those who will be most divested by the consequence of climate change . Your contributions will help to build a stronger institute and greater opportunity for all.
Thank you, as always, for all you do.
