DONATE WITHOUT PAYING FROM YOUR POCKETS!!!



Guyz..... this is a wonderful site which i discovered buried in my bookmarks....You just click the yellow big button and then a donation worth 1 cup of food would be given by the sponsors...you donot have to pay or give money as donation....just click the button ...           



THE WEBSITE HAS SIMILAR BUTTONS FOR VARIOUS OTHER ACTIVITIES LIKE TREATING CHILDREN, SPREADING LITERACY AND MANY MORE!!

SO PLEASE DO CLICK ON THOSE BUTTONS!!! I AM IN NO WAY RELATED TO THE WEBSITE  BUT I FEEL THERE IS NOTHING TO LOOSE BY CLICKING A BUTTON!! ....JUST ONE CLICK!!!!!


How does this work:

The Hunger Site is the original click-to-donate site created in 1999 that gets sponsorshipfrom advertisers in return for delivering users who will see their advertisements. The Hunger site encourages visitors to click a button on the site, once per day, asserting that each unique click results in a donation "equivalent" to 1.1 cups of food. The Hunger Site is not a charity; it is a for-profit corporation "which donates the revenue from its advertising banner" to selected charities. Currently, these are Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) and Mercy Corps.





Confirmations/Verifications Done*:

In the July 22, 1999 edition of the Internet Tourbus, Patrick Crispen confirmed the site's integrity through one of its sponsors:
I know this whole "click on a button, feed a hungry person" story sounds too good to be true, but I called one of the Hunger Site's sponsors and they confirmed that they were indeed donating 3 cents for everyone who clicks on the site's "Donate Free Food" button. The sponsors are donating the money to generate goodwill (and, truth be told, sponsoring the Hunger Site is also a brilliant marketing move -- once someone clicks on the "Donate Free Food" button, they are taken to a page that shows a small ad for the sponsor. The click-through rates for these ads must be phenomenal!)
In response to my own inquiries, Anthea Webb of the United Nations' World Food Program confirmed that the organization indeed receives donations via the Hunger Site and characterized the project as "innovative." Says Webb, "Cash donations equivalent to more than a million servings of food have been donated since the site opened in June 1999."
