That change then goest to a local food bank. What’smore, you’ll be able to track the amount of money
you’ve donated and even earn rewards. Spare iscurrently operating in NYC only, but they hope to
expand to other states as the company grows.

whatsoever. The only thing it costs is data. Marrying theGPS tracking ability of MapMyRun with a great cause,
Charity Miles donates 10 cents for every mile biked and 25cents for every mile walked/ran to a charity of your choice.The money comes from Charity Miles’ corporate sponsors.
3. One TodayLike the idea of charity, but don’t know where to donate?One Today let’s you speed date charities by introducing
you to one a day. If you like the charity introduced to you,you can donate $1 and you can even share it with other
friends via social media. One Today makes giving to a goodcause fun and social.
4. Share the MealAn initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme
(WFP), Share The Meal allows users to donate $.50 (ormore) to ending world hunger. The WFP receives the funds
and uses them to provide the meals. One fascinatingfeature of the program is that it focuses on different in-need areas at different times. Currently, Share the Meal
funds are being concentrated on supporting pregnant andnursing mothers in Syria.
