I would like some opinions on something I have been struggling with. If I buy a coat at a thrift store for five dollars that I can afford new, am I depriving someone of that coat who can't afford to buy it new. It may sound silly, but this really bothers me.

In my quest to slash the budget, I am reviewing both my tithe and my child sponsoring through Compassion Int'l. Besides the internal wrestling, I have a new concern... taxes. What will a $1,000 deduction in charitable contributions do to our tax results? We usually border between owing a...

I was just wondering if anyone knits or crochets for charity on a regular basis? I used to, then stopped for a while, now I'm starting to again. Right now I'm concentrating on the troops and the animal shelter. Then I thought with Christmas coming it might be nice to do a few things for...
