Do good and even save money with online charity auctions
Most of us like to help charities whenever we can, and most of us enjoy getting a good deal on a product or service. With charity auctions, you can often do both. Guilt-free shopping!
eBay is one of the best-known venues for online charity auctions and fundraising, but there are other possibilities as well.
If you work with a non-profit group, charity auctions on eBay and other websites can really make a difference, so at least consider the idea for your group.
I am donating all revenue from this lens (plus whatever else I can manage) to a homeless shelter in my town. They really need help right now.
