Give Back. Give More. Give Today.
As Coronavirus rages, companies are pitching in to assist during the COVID-19 pandemic by offering several helpful resources during the crisis.. Here are examples from a variety of cause areas from education to messages of social distancing. For those looking for a way to give back, here is a list that we have compiled for you:
Feeding America
This incredible charity coordinates the fight against hunger by enabling donations to food banks across the country. People in the Raleigh area, for example, are instantly connected to both the inter-Faith Food Shuttle and Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. You can also visit their fundraising page to donate to food banks across the country in this time of crisis.
All In Challenge
Join the All In Challenge to help raise money to provide food to those in need – kids, elderly and frontline heroes. 100% of money raised will be donated to benefit groups such as Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, America’s Food Fund, and others. Ranging from One-Day Contract to Play with the Dallas Mavs to Enjoying a UT Football Game with Matthew McConaughey to Getting on the Cover of Sports Illustrated, there are many ways you can participate in raising funds while entering a chance to win a fun experience.
Amazon Smile
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you by donating a small percentage of your Amazon.com purchase to a nonprofit 510 (c) (3) organization of your choice.
