I usually don't donate to the larger charities except SA bellringers at Christmastime. I prefer to work with smaller groups, adopting a family at Christmas and personally delivering the presents. Sure, there have been some deadbeats (the parent), but kids should have something to play with on Christmas morning. You can usually tell by their wishlist how needy they are. Some ask for an Xbox (ain't gonna happen) and some just want a jacket or shoes.
Like Sammy stated, I have been thinking of doing things for the elderly like running errands, taking in a ballgame, etc. I think that's where I can make a difference.
