Want to Help Others without Spending More Money?

Does part of you believe that there is enough to go around, but you are having trouble making ends meet? If you thought you could not help others because you only have enough to take care of yourself, the Universe has provided you with a way to do both!

ServeNation.com is a nonprofit that allows consumers to give back to local and national nonprofits without spending extra money. For some people this is a critical component.

Right now the number of participating non-profits is limited, but go to ServeNation.com to read more about the program. You can purchase gift cards to use for yourself or to give to others. You get the full face value of the gift card and the nonprofit agency of your choice gets up to 8% of that face value as a donation. Serve Nation does not take any fees--nor is there any shipping or handling charge!

Ready to buy a gift card--this link takes you to all the organizations that are participating at this time, listed in alphabetical order. Click on the organization that you want to support and you will be taken to a page with the various gift cards that you can purchase.

For example, you might find cards for grocery stores, movies, hotels, even Starbucks! Buy cards for places you shop anyway and help out a great cause or buy some gift cards to give as gifts for the holidays and you are giving in two ways!

If your favorite charity is not on the ServeNation directory, give that nonprofit a heads up. They can join the program!
