    My town just witnessed a horrible blizzard, and many people were left without electricity, heat, and were in need of help. It was an early Sunday afternoon and I went to church as a usually do. My youth group and I decided to help those in our neighborhood, seeing as the majority of the people who live in my neighborhood are elderly. Read more... Link  

  • Helping others By imlovin14puppies

    Many times I go to this dog shelter nearby me. They were dogs that were abused by their old owners or were just lost and homeless. What I did there was help out and walk them or simply just play fetch or feed them. Basically, anything that would make them feel better. This really means a lot to me because I am a huge dog lover and I feel really bad about how some of them were treated.......I would do anything to make the dogs feel better. Read more... Link

  • Eagle's Nest By nikkilikescake

    I look forward to summer every year, but not for the reasons you might think.  To me, summer means the start of my local elementary school’s reading program.  It is started and run by a teacher in that school, Sharon Cook.  The program called Eagle’s Nest is meant to be a summer reading program for underprivileged kids, and in our small, rural town in West Virginia, there a too many of those children.  Sharon, however cares so deeply about kids that she will let anyone who wants to come into the program, be it a kid who needs a lot of help reading, a really bright kid who wants something to do for the summer, or a kid who just needs a guaranteed two meals a day.

    I attend San Diego Academy in San Diego, California. Currently, I am a junior in high school and in my school; we are required to do 10 hours of community service. Every semester, I exceed the expectations. Participating in my community isn't something I do in order to receive praise or to make myself look good when I apply to colleges. Since the time I was young, it's something that I’ve done in church, or with my family, or with a group of friends. This semester, we went to the newly built Ronald McDonald House near the Children's Hospital. Read more... Link

FEBRUARY – Donate Points to Haiti

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine we can make a difference, especially if we feel like we have so little to give. But we believe that a little bit can always go a long way. So during the month of February, we asked our Darling Members to donate points, and in return, Suddenly Darling donated funds to go directly to the aid of the people in Haiti.

Our Darling Members donated 28,159 points!
