The Occasional Observer

For anyone still looking for a charity to donate to before the end of the year, I have a great suggestion: Homes for our Troops.

They build homes for returning vets with severe disabilities, and provide them at NO cost to the soldier. You can either donate to the general fund, or if you pick an individual state you can see all the current soldiers they are building homes for and donate to a specific one. It is a very highly rated charity by AIP, which monitors charities to make sure they have very low overhead rates so most of your donation goes directly to the charitable effort. They have also been recognized by both Pres. Bush and Ted Kennedy.
