NPR (National Public Radio) is an internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming. NPR and its affiliates are important because their news coverage is not beholden to any sponsors. They are funded by membership and public funds. Each NPR Member Station serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming.
Their mission is simple: end homelessness. The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) engages in public education, policy advocacy, and grassroots organizing focused on 4 areas: housing justice, economic justice, health care justice, and civil rights.
Here's one for all you knitters. Warm Up America takes donations of individual knit/crocheted squares or full blankets and donates them to victims of natural disasters, battered women's shelters, the homeless, and others in need. You can knit simple squares and send them in. Or you can knit entire blankets. There's also another organization similar to this called Mile of Hugs.
Habitat for Humanity helps to build thousands of homes in the US and abroad for people in need. The homes are built with volunteer labor, which brings the overall cost of construction down, providing affordable housing - these are not "give away" homes - they are made available to qualified applicants at affordable prices. You can donate money, or volunteer your time and labor. Though technically a religiously affiliated organization, they provide help and services to anyone in need.
The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. HRC seeks to improve the lives of GLBT Americans by advocating for equal rights and benefits in the workplace, ensuring families are treated equally under the law and increasing public support among all Americans through innovative advocacy, education and outreach programs.
