For June, I chose two charities -- the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Family Gateway. Both were in honor of friends who had done me a recent kindness.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption helps to match children with their forever homes. It has a four star rating on Charity Navigator, and you can read more about it here: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=8546#.VY7i5WfbJR0
The Family Gateway provides support to homeless families with children. It has a four star rating on Charity Navigator, and you can read more about it here: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=10880#.VY7i82fbJR0
