About The Breast Cancer Site Your click on the "Fund Free Mammograms" button helps fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. |
| Goodwill helps provide job training to people with special needs. Its 1,950 retail stores, packed with donated clothing and other household goods, help fund that mission. What to Donate: Almost anything — shoes, slacks, as long as the things are in reasonable condition. How It Works: Pickup service is often provided, but you can also drop off clothing at any Goodwill location. But don’t leave items outside a facility after hours — you won’t get a receipt, and they could be stolen or damaged. Where to Find It: Use the Zip Code locator at www.goodwill.org to find a location near you, or call 800-664-6577. |
