Celebrate your loved ones in November.

November is Family Stories Month and when you tell your family story, you could help one of three deserving charities and end up featured on Squidoo!

This month we're building lenses to support:
Oxfam America
Covenant House
Modest Needs

Good or goofy, there's nothing like family. Show off yours. What do you do? How do you do it? If we wanted to share in your tradition, how could we get started? Every family is different, and I bet you have some super creative ways to get attention for a lens to support one of these charities. Or all of them!

Ideas for your lens 

  • How to plan a family vacation.
  • Organizing a meal for a large family.
  • Staying in touch with out-of-town family.
  • A photo or video tribute of your fav family activities.

Support Modest Needs 

Dedicated to helping people with unexpected financial emergencies. Modest Needs work to stop the cycle of poverty BEFORE it starts for the low-income workers whom conventional philanthropy has forgotten.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Modest Needs from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
