I think I've posted this here before. I would rather donate my time knowing that I can confirm that it goes straight to the cause. But sometimes that can't be the case
I adopt a family at Christmas, buy the gifts requested and that for me is a big deal.
Also, this is the organization I put the majority of my support behind.

The financials are listed, completely open reporting.
I donate $$ and volunteer. Hey, who doesn't enjoy a bit of time on the water. Fly fishing is one of the most Zen, meditative ways to spend your time. It helps these guy and gals a lot.
As a Veteran I support those who served along with their families. As more of our troops return home, ETS, retire, there are and are going to be more PTSD related disabilities along with injuries and loss of limb(s).
There is going to be a real need for more programs to deal with this, I think this is a great start.
