“As the holidays approach, do you get caught between wanting to donate to a local charity and being low on cash? There are many ways to provide charitable donations to local organizations such as the Freeland-based Child Abuse Prevention Foundation (CAPF) without costing you a cent. If you shop at Albertsons with a CAPF Community Partners card, 2 percent of your purchase is credited as a donation. Shopping on-line? Try logging on first to GreaterGood.com. By designating CAPF before you shop, you will be providing up to 15 percent of your purchase as a donation for child abuse prevention. Not shopping at all? Log on to 4mycommunity.com, and even your Web surfing adds up to a donation for the cause. There are many internet charity sites through which you can provide funds to CAPF and other causes: webcharity.com, charitygift.com, charitycounts.com, allcharities.com, charitableway.com, thegivingnetwork.com, guidestar.com. You can also provide funds directly through the CAPF Web site at whidbey.com/child. Contact the CAPF office at 331-7343, or at child@whidbey.com for more information and ideas. “
