Ways to Help Others


Another one of the pages found by looking at the top left side of the blog in the pages section.

This is just a handful of ways to contribute. I like to post organizations that I have personally been involved with. 
I will be updating the list as I learn of more great organizations.  

Support CPC through the United Way. Use codes are CFC 67763 / CVC 3681, or you can write in Crisis Pregnancy Center of Tidewater. It's a great way to help CPC through your workplace!
You can also link your Food Lion MVP card to help CPC http://www.cpcfriendsblog.com/2011/06/calling-all-mvps.html?utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=twitterfeed

Purchase Boy Scout Popcorn, or make a tax deducible military donation. 70% of your purchase will be returned to my sons' unit, council and Scout rewards. Online purchases help us fund fun, educational activities and help more kids experience all the things that make Scouting great. http://www.trails-end.com/estore/home_alt.jsp?_requestid=1596114

The Boy Scouts of America relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission of preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, nearly 1.2 million adults provide leadership and mentoring to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. http://www.scouting.org/Volunteer.aspx

American Heritage Girls: a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. The organization offers badge programs, service projects, girl leadership opportunities and outdoor experiences to its members. This program of character building has successfully served thousands of girls since its inception and will continue to do so long into the 21st century.   http://www.ahgonline.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=80065
