Volunteering Websites

I found a couple of websites that will advertise the need for volunteers for free. I finished registering with Christian Volunteering and Volunteer Match. Please go to the websites to see the opportunities that are available.

However, volunteers do not need to reply to those ads. Feel free to contact me directly to see ways of how you can help.

501(c)(3) Status Granted

We have been granted 501(c)(3) status! All donations to Recycling for Food are tax deductible. Please tell any foundation, business, school, or organization you are involved with about our mission, and the benefits of using recyclables as a way to feed people in need.

Thank you for your support.

Blog Changes

Currently experimenting with different looks and backgrounds for the blog. There are a lot of new features available to try.

Website Changes

The fonts have been changed to make the site easier to read, and we added a picture that my wife Alexandra put together. It shows that recycling can equal food. Three cans with a cash return value of 10 cents (in Michigan), really can buy an apple.

Helping Using GoodSearch

I did not write the following below, but it is a great idea. Please be sure to designate "Recycling for Food" as the charity to benefit.

"Here's a new easy way to raise money for your favorite cause. Just start using Yahoo! powered GoodSearch.com as your search engine and they'll donate about a penny to your favorite cause every time you do a search!

In addition, do all of your shopping through their online shopping mall, GoodShop.com, where you can shop at more than 900 top online retailers and a percentage of your purchases will go to the charity or school of your choice. You pay the same price as you normally would, but a donation goes to your cause!

Here's the web site — GoodSearch.com. You can also read about GoodSearch in the NY Times, Oprah Magazine, CNN, ABC News and the Wall Street Journal."
