But how do you know your hard-earned money is getting to the people who actually need it? Rather than give to a charity that spends more on decorating corner offices than the cause they’re supposed to be working for, take a look at our list of organizations that make you feel good about giving. http://www.sheknows.com/sheknows-cares/articles/820289/Top-10-Charities-that-make-you-feel-good-about-giving SheKnows Cares Community & Human Services Jessica Padykula Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:24:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/sheknows-cares/articles/820465/The-best-pet-charities-for-your-fur-loving-donations Because of the current economy, animal charities are suffering more than ever.
