Charities

Do you step out on your front stoop or veranda just to watch the world return from its winter slumber? Are you airing out the house just because it feels so good outside? Is the spring weather making you feel lighter in step? Then go lighten your pocketbook a little and consider donating to these (or any) charities.

Butterflies in Bushwick: helping low-income children in the Brooklyn area learn about the world of butterflies. This activity will enrich students' knowledge and teach them to respect living things as well as enhance their language and writing skills. They're currently 32% funded and have $460 yet to raise. Get out your plastic and go be generous.

Creating Fyber Ducklings is Fyberduck's brainchild (of course). Help support the newest generation of fiber artists! Children from low-income areas want to knit, weave, and crochet; but, they lack the necessary materials. She's set the goal high ($1 000), but I think she'll make it.

In unrelated news, I may not have to work for Jesus much longer. But shh! Don't tell anyone.
