Pastimes : Enough of Making Money! What about giving it away?

A wonderful thread and so appropriate at this time of year!

This isn't about giving money, only giving a little click to help people.

This is a wonderful site with an unusual concept, which has appealed to several SIers. A simple daily visit, a minute of your time to help others less fortunate. email it to all your friends with the suggestion that they do it, too, and pass it on to their friends. You'll see why if you go there:

thehungersite.com

You simply click the button once a day and your click will have induced a corporate sponsor to donate a specified amount of free food to a hungry person.

The amount of food -- rice, wheat, maize or other staple food -- you send by your click varies according to how many corporations (or, occasionally, individuals) are sponsoring the site that day. Today it is 2 3/4 cups! This is the most those of us who have been visiting the site daily have ever seen!

Maybe your company would even want to sponsor the site? Each sponsor pays for 1/4 cup of food....

"Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger; 3/4 of the deaths are children under 5."

thanks again A.J.
