We often get asked "How can I help HopeTree?" Some people take up a collection at their church. Some people donate items on our needs list. Some people help with our Christmas wishlist. Some start their own walk-a-thon.
After throwing out several suggestions, sometimes people tell me "I just don't have the time." Welcome to the digital age! With social networking sites like facebook, helping HopeTree just got a whole lot easier. All you have to do is log in to facebook and add HopeTree Family Services as your cause (if you don't have an account, sign up! It's free!). Then you can recruit other supporters and donate directly to HopeTree through facebook's secure online donation form (I've already recruited 10 people and helped raise $125 this month!).
So why do I tell you all of this now? Because this month is America's Giving Challenge. Through November 7, America's Giving Challenge will award prizes to charities that generate the most unique donations daily (that's number of donations, not dollar amount. You can give as little as $10!).
So get out there and find everyone you know that care about helping at-risk youth and adults with intellectual disabilities as much as we do. You don't even have to leave your computer chair.
