Okay... guess I'll start...
We donate a lot of time & money throughout the year to a local homeless shelter. Believe it or not there are a lot of homeless wandering the streets out here in the desert - even in 125+ degree summers. Most are - from what we've learned - released *mild* mental patients from a hospital that closed down in our area several years ago. They really just have no place to go.
We also donate to several military, police and firefighters' organizations a few times a year and participate in the Hug-A-Bear foundation program run by the California State Peace Officers' Associations.
We don't do as much as we would like to - but we do what we can.
