Say you have $50 extra bucks....


If you have $50 extra dollars then donate to Preble Street in Maine.
.
This organization services 325,000 meals to the homeless a year. It runs 2 half way houses for homeless women (because women on the street are more at risk then men are).
.
The Catholic Church in Maine pulled their funding because they backed Maine's law for Same Sex marriage. Preble Street's board of directors voted to support the law because "He said Preble Street decided to join the coalition that opposed Question 1 because issues of sexual orientation are the single greatest cause of homelessness among youths."
.
Full story here at the Portland Press Herald. I don't ask you to bitch at the Catholic Church or anything... but if you have an extra $20 or $50 you can help bridge their gap to reach out to women and youth in need. Donations can be made on their web site here (also a lot of information about the work they do here).
