Blog Action Day 2008: Poverty

This year's Blog Action Day topic is poverty, so I want to take this opportunity to give out information about some of the local organizations that help to fight poverty. These are all places you can contact to get volunteer hours. These volunteer hours can go on your resume and be used to obtain scholarships that require them. Not only are you helping to reduce poverty, but you are also earning respect and volunteer credits. Contact these organization and ask if they take volunteers.
