Giving Back is very important. It's easy to get caught up in buying as many things as you can for cheap or free but it's nice to stop and remember that we are truly blessed and have the ability to share our blessings with others.
Here are some ways to Give Back for Free/Almost Free.
www.care2.com/ - I love this site, it can be very addicting. Everyday you can click on various charities and the sponsor's will donate for each click and they also have something called "Butterfly" rewards. You earn them by commenting on articles, polls, signing "activist" petitions, creating your own petitions, sending ecards, searching & much more.
The reason why I love this site is because somehow, it's addicting to get as many butterfly rewards as you can daily and select an item to donate to a charity. Yes it's nice to donate to charity but I'm not sure many would call it addicting but this site is. You can't wait to get enough credits to give away. You don't receive anything yet it's hard to stay away. Wonderful site, and they always have interesting articles to comment on plus it's fun to see what other's are saying. You can also create and design your own profile which is a lot of fun as well and it displays all the items you donated with your butterfly rewards.

www.helpstampouthunger.com - This is a yearly event.
It doesn't cost a thing, because I'm sure we all have extra food items in the cupboards that we aren't going to use or can spare to giveaway, especially us extreme couponer's who have stock piles of mostly "free" items. Here's how it works, just find a bag and put some food items inside, non-perishable, and sit it under your mailbox and your mailman will pick it up and deliver it to your local food bank. If you only have 1 item to donate, please don't hesitate, times are hard and everything counts.

www.thehungersite.com - You can click everyday to support multiple causes such as Hunger, Rain forest, Child Health, Autism, Breast Cancer, Animals, Literacy, Veterans. You do not have to sign in or have an account. Click on the causes listed on top of the page to show your support for each individual cause.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
www.freerice.com - There are a variety of subjects (Language, Humanities, Chemistry, Math, Geography & English) with questions/answers. Choose which subject you prefer, then answer each question, and for each question you answer correctly, the site will donate 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme to help end hunger. It may sound small but the questions are addicting and before you know it, you've answer more than you thought you would.

www.myyearbook.com - This is a very fun site where you can create/design your page, watch tv shows/movies, take fun quizzes & much more. But my favorite part of this site is the "Causes" section. When you earn points you can donate them to a variety of organizations such as Child Help, Alex's Lemonade Stand, USO, World Food Programme, Books for Africa & many, many more. There are different ways to earn points such as watching short videos, completing free or pay offers & you can even buy points. So far I've donated over 30 million points without paying a cent.

www.wishuponahero.com - At WUAH, you can grant wishes and post wishes of your own. Some wishes are for a birthday card or coupons & many other things. Some people are only asking for prayers. They have a forum which covers a wide variety of subjects where you can connect with other members and find advice/information on just about everything. It's always 100% free to use.

Send Expired Coupons to Military Families - I'm sure many of us have hated throwing away expired coupons knowing that item will go on sale sooner or later, it felt like such a waste but instead of throwing your expired coupons away, you can send them overseas to military families who can use them. Now this will cost the price of a postage stamp but that's very small. You can find a list here http://www.grocerysavingtips.com/expiredgrocerycoupons.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
www.clicktogive.com - is an amazing site where you sign up for free and click on 6 different causes everyday and that's it. With your clicks, the sites sponsor's donate and they use 100% of it for the specified charities. I click everyday, it takes all of 20 seconds. Very simple and easy to do. As a bonus, the more you click, the more the clicks add up and you can redeem your clicks for items such as notebooks, pens, plush animals, shirts, clock, hat or donate it to charities.
