The hunger site Review

Tough economic times mean that many individuals and families cannot take care of basic needs. Some turn to government assistance, but others turn to private charities and one web site that helps increase the resources available for these basic needs is Thehungersite.com, a charitable site that helps feed the hungry while raising awareness.

Charity Web Site Commentary:

The Hunger Site is a service focused mainly on food and it promises to donate food each time you visit the site and click your mouse. I have been visiting the Hunger Site for ten years, making my clicks in the name of charity. There is a large, rectangular icon on the home page that is difficult to miss and with each click of this icon each day, the Hunger Site makes a food donation (presently, the equivalent of 1.1 cups of food). Anyone can logon and click this icon each day and many people make a visit to the Hunger Site a part of their daily internet routine. You can even request a free e-mail reminder each day, to make sure you don't forget to logon and click.

Clicking to make a free donation is great, but the Hunger Site goes much further than that. This online service also wants people to be made aware of charitable needs in general and it includes links to other charities, including those that deal with other human needs besides food. Not only can you click other links and make direct donations with a credit card, you can also sign petitions, send an e-card to a friend, and even make purchases of jewelry, clothing, outdoor items, and other goods. With each purchase, the Hunger Site makes a donation of food. In addition to that, each time you click on an advertising link, even if you don't make any purchase, the Hunger Site still makes donations. It commits its advertising money to the good of charity, so a visit to the Hunger Site is good for countless reasons.

The Hunger Site has expanded its services in the past several years and it now includes special sections for other important causes. Among these are breast cancer, child health, literacy, the rainforests, and animal rescue. Unlike the food section, there is no place to click in these subsections to make a free donation. You need to either make a purchase or make a direct donation to help these important causes.

Bottom- Line Viewpoint:

The Hunger Site is one of the best charitable services on the internet and it is one of several sites that offer to help others with a free donation each time someone logs on and clicks an icon. Giving monetary gifts is always welcome, but the Hunger Site is great for those who want to help others but have no money to give. Just by logging in, clicking the free donation icon, and clicking the advertising links, anyone can make a small difference.
