I donate to so many types of charities, food pantries, animal shelters, disaster relief, heart disease, diabetes, etc. But the one I am MOST passionate about and give the most to is St. Judes Children's Research Hospital. This organization and hospital have a long standing in the field of cancer treatment and research for children. They've made huge strides over the years in developing steps towards a cure for some of the most rare cancers. I love that these children benifit from 100% of the donations. No child is EVER turned away. I think Marlo Thomas does an amazing job and has so much passion for an organization started by her Dad. I've even set up a trust for them if something happens to me. My sister knows all about it. And, one of my goals when I retire (god willing) is to be a volunteer nurse for a certain number of days per year.

I give to a local relief center that offers food, clothing, medical care, English lessons and afterschool tutoring to low-income families. I've actually volunteered there, so I can see where the money actually goes and am sure the services are really being provided.

My money goes mostly to animal charities. Especially local animal shelters, VIVA, PAWS and BUNS.

I also always donate to the Salvation Army. That was my parent's favorite charity, especially my dad, so I keep the memory going.

I have a few medical research charities I donate too, also.
