Are you low on cash but in the giving spirit?

Here are eight ways to help others this season without breaking your bank account:

• If you shop online... GoodShop.com and GiveClicks.com donate a portion of proceeds to charity.
• If you're getting married... IDoFoundation.org helps couples create gift registries, invitations, and party favors that benefit charitable organizations.
• If you just like being nice... Go to Avivausa.com and request a free Youmanity Token.  Register it on the website; then help out a stranger, hand them the token, and ask that they do the same.  Follow the kindness chain you started as the token travels the country.
• If shoes are cluttering up your closet... Soles4Souls.org distributes them to the poor and disaster-struck around the world.
• If you have spare business apparel... CareerGear.org (for men's clothing) and TheWomensAlliance.org (for women's clothing) collect donations of "lightly worn" professional attire for outfitting job candidates for interviews.
• If you have (stuffed) animeals... StuffAnimalsForEmergencies.org and LovingHugs.org gives your "gently used" friends to kids in need (see the websites for guidelines).
• If you want to help out locally... HandsOnNetwork.org and VolunteerMatch.org pair neighbors with volunteer needs.
• If you enjoy surfing (the internet, that is)... GoodSearch.com automatically donates to a favorite worthy group as you browse.
