Christmas Charity

[1]

'Tis the season to be giving, or something like that.

Since most of the other Christmas threads are political in nature, I thought I'd start one with innocent intentions.  With a lousy economy and many Americans in need of assistance, I'm curious about which organizations people are donating (food, gifts, money) or volunteering with.

Toys for Tots is a favorite Christmas time charity of ours, but this year I'd like to expand.  Any thoughts?  I'd certainly like to donate to our troops, and could use some suggestions as to the best way to do so.
