We support food pantries and soup kitchens monthly, one here and one in our former Michigan town. Aside from Best Friends Animal Society and Americares, I like to support small charities. My grand niece attends a Spanish immersion school in Oakland CA that has a fundraiser every year for needs of the children in the school who come from poverty. I always do the food donation things run by Winn-Dixie. That kind of thing. I like to save some money out for helping victims of or responders to natural disasters. Last year it was the wildfires in Australia (our son and DIL live there).
