For ALL OF US!:

This time of year really is the season for giving. Instead of giving a tangible gift, why not donate in your loved one’s name to an amazing cause such as your local animal shelter or humane society? Shelters are always in need of monetary donations, dog or cat food, treats, cleaning supplies, and bedding. Contact your local shelter today to see how you can help animals in need.

While you’re on a humanitarian kick, check out AmazonSmile. It’s just like shopping on Amazon, but you select your favorite charity to donate a portion of the proceeds – at no extra cost to you! You’re shopping anyway, so why not treat others while you’re treating yourself all year long?

Need help choosing a charity? The ASPCA is always a good place to start. And read more about AmazonSmile here.
