I came across a company called CharityUSA.com that does a world of good deeds…literally. They own and operate a list of websites that are part of the GreaterGood Network, which offers online users a way to help people and animals around the world who are in need.
Part of going green involves supporting a sustainable planet, and we can’t have a healthy planet when the people and creatures living in it are suffering.
That’s why these websites are so great: they let you extend your helping hand to people who you would never get a chance to meet in your lifetime, but who would be forever thankful for your help.

The sites within the GreaterGood Network all tackle serious issues like hunger and breast cancer. Luckily there are many things you can do to show your support. Check out the sites:
