Gifts That Give Back, Part Two

Yesterday, with Matt Damon by our side, we told you about some great charities. Here are some more ways to give back this holiday season (and anytime):

You love: A well-fed world
Give to: Heifer International
Why: Heifer livestock and training help poor villages from Appalachia to Zambia alleviate hunger and become self-reliant

You love: Having healthy neighbors
Give to: Doctors without Borders
Why: These doctors have seen 11,000 patients since August, opened dozens of cholera treatment centers throughout Zimbabwe, and are still going

You love: Keeping it in the family
Give to: Orangutan Foundation International
Why: Our closest relatives are quickly disappearing from places like Borneo and Indonesia because of deforestation and palm oil production

You love: Feeling good about America's future
Give to: Bent on Learning
Why: The organization helps New York Public School students "focus their energies"

You love: You're not sure yet
Give to: Charity Checks
Why: You set the dollar amount, they choose the charity that needs it--and there are about a million

You hate: Your carbon footprint
Give to: Climate Care
Why: To reduce it
