Are Non-Profits Suffering During Economy trouble?

Most of us are familiar with a non-profit organization or two. And most of us help support at least one I hope. After all if we are an active member of the community we know that our churches, missions, orphanages, shelters, and others need our help. So what happens to these much needed organizations when our pocket books and pantries are short.

Do we cut them off completely or cut back? And if our giving is being downsized what will happen to them? Who will provide for our missionaries that are already sacrificing to bring the messages of hope and love to those people who need it? What will happen to our churches when our pastors and other church leaders must take other employment to feed their own families? Who will feed our orphans, our battered women, and our homeless?

Gives us much to think about doesn't it? For most people their contribution to an organization such as those is an afterthought. After the bills are all paid, after our groceries are bought, after our weekly dining out, after our name brand whatever it is we buy, after the braces, after the mountains of Christmas gifts, after, after, after.

We must change our giving if we are going to change our world. So maybe you really can't give as much or any but, could we do something? Could we volunteer to serve wherever they need us? Could we spend extra time in prayer? Could we spend some time with the organization staff and patrons?

When we shift our focus to caring and assisting others we can truly make a difference. So today, this month, this time in our history let's not focus on ourselves but, on those around us for people are what truly matter!

P.S. - this is the website I use to help make a difference
They sponsor a child and pay 6% of corporate profit

They also pay part of world changer websites fees to a non-profit

Non-profits can also sign up and earn money from purchases made
