CROP Hunger Walk
CROP Hunger Walks help children and families worldwide -- and right here in the U.S. -- to have food for today, while building for a better tomorrow. Each year some two million CROP Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors put their hearts and soles in motion, raising over $16 million per year to help end hunger and poverty around the world -- and in their own communities. And you are part of it!
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

American Library Association
ALA plays a key role in the formulation of national and international policies and standards that affect library and information services. It's mission is to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. Through the generous support of members and friends, ALA is able to fulfill its role as the leading advocate for the public's right to a free and open information society.
America's Second Harvest
The mission of America's Second Harvest is to create a hunger-free America. We distribute food and grocery products through a nationwide certified member network, increase public awareness of domestic hunger and advocate for public policies that benefit America's hungry.
First Book
Studies show that the single strongest indicator of a child?s future reading success is simple: the number of books in the home. Yet access to books is virtually nonexistent for children in need. In low-income neighborhoods, there is access to, on average, just one age-appropriate book for every 300 children, compared with 13 books for every child in middle-income families. More than 80% of preschool and after-school programs serving children from low-income families have no books at all for the children they serve.
