Charitable Giving for the Holidays and Year End

A woman posted a critical comment last week on an August post about Episcopal Relief and Development, an organization near and dear to us'ns on The Farm.

I asked Carol Stone to do some research on it and other charitable organizations - particularly at this time of year when we might send a card to someone on our list that states that a bicycle or a sewing machine from a reputable non-profit organization was donated in their honor to someone in need.

Carol did a thorough and clear article on the issue and I commend it to you. Many of us in this country don't need another tie or bath oil basket --- better to give something meaningful to someone who has little or nothing!
