There are a great number of programs that are non-profit and are run strictly on donations. While we might only think about them once or twice a year, they need help all year round. These charities support hospitals, churches, and shelters for the homeless and hungry. Think about what you would do without your cell phone, computer, or car. You might read a book, watch television, or cook something. Now imagine you have none of that, and no food to eat, no roof over your head, and barely enough clothes to keep you warm. Charity Case gives readers information on charity contributions, donations that are needed, when donations are needed, the tax breaks you could receive come April, and how to avoid giving your money to a fraudulent charity.
