Making a Difference: Part II

You Can Help Without Writing a Check!
The American Red Cross helps those in need throughout the United States, especially in times of natural disasters like Hurricane Ike. While they always appreciate financial donations, sometimes it’s hard for us stay-at-home moms to write a check. Now there’s a new way to help. Donate your old cell phone by Oct. 31, 2008 to ReCellular Inc. and they’ll contribute $1 to the American Red Cross. Visit their site for a free shipping label and more information.

Drink More Wine and Juice
Okay, time to start sorting that trash… Save your wine bottle corks and juice pouches and send them to TerraCycle, Inc. (http://www.terracycle.com/). They’ll up-cycle them into cool products and, while they accept most juice brands, they’ll donate $.02 to a charity of our choice for each CapriSun or Honest Kids pouch! $.01 will be donated for other brands. How cool is that???
