DONATE TO A LOCAL CHARITY >>>

There's no better way to support your community than supporting your neighbors in need, especially during the holiday season. We'll feature local charities on Spew throughout this holiday season with links to donate your money, supplies and time.

Give the karmic wheel a spin for today's charity focus:

Community spirit means everyone working together for the greater good, not just the social workers, not just the politicians, and not just the wealthy but everyday people, because when there are people suffering in our community, eventually that suffering will trickle its way down to everyone, even the young and the beautiful. The suffering of others reaches out to us through our windshields as we drive past poor people walking down the street. It reaches out to us when we see stories about homeless and criminals on the news. It reaches out to us when we hear about people who died because they couldn't afford the cure to the illnesses with which they'd suddenly been stricken. Without community spirit these events could go unchecked. But we are Americans, and our motto is United We Stand.
