Regarding the newest in the line of Internet bake sales...
I give to some of these, and wish I could give to more. About the only way I can find sanity in terms of the pull to fix everything is to find an organization that's fighting the causes of distress at a systematic level. (For example, I can sleep better on international poverty issues when I'm active on Kiva and Heifer.)
Do you have any recommendations for domestic social safety net charities or activist organizations? I'm tiring of handing out bandages while not knowing what to do about the source of the injuries.
