Charities / Go fund me's / good places to give
-
A link came across my feed that an old mush pal posted (I don't even know if she plays anymore lol) and I wanted to share it, and also realized we could probably use a thread for posting not-us places to give (not to discourage the in-community giving, because I hope all of you realize how much good you do) for those that might be seeking places. Especially right now! If there's already one of these threads oops sorry.
SO!

Kids need a playground because adults are taking pictures of them on the public playground they use for recess:

Homeless Backpacks is a charity that feeds kids. Usually primarily homeless kids, right now they're feeding any kids with food insecurity, which is a significantly larger number. $20 feeds two kids for a weekend.
https://homelessbackpacks.org/ETA: also if you're local-ish HBP REALLY needs shoppers right now. People to go buy the tunafish and stuff with the money that gets donated.
