With the holidays approaching, I felt like it was time to do some more fundraising. I found a charity that I think is really awesome, because it doesn’t just supply handouts, it gives people hope to improve their lives. It is called Community Voice Mail, and the idea is simple: people who don’t have access to a phone are given a phone number, where they can check messages from loved ones and prospective employers. Read about it. It seems really cool. And over 80% of the money raised goes to the program itself, not to a huge bureaucracy. So I will be asking everyone for a dollar at quizzo this week, though you are certainly welcome to give more if you want to. At the end of the week, I’ll let you know how much we are able to raise.
