MAIN Holidays Thanksgiving Give Thanks By Giving

At Thanksgiving time, millions of Americans begin to reflect on their own blessings.

Grateful for life's bounties, they often seek out recommendations for organizations to which they can safely donate food or money to those less fortunate during the holiday season.

Awarded a 4-star rating by Charity Watch and Charity Navigator, each of the following charities come highly recommended, with a proven reputation for giving a majority of their resources to the mission of helping others.

As the US struggles out of the depths of recession, food banks across the nation have reported bare shelves and reduced funding. In 2009, the trend continues unabated as food prices skyrocket in the face of joblessness or foreclosure for a growing number of Americans.

Action Against Hunger	Feeding America	Habitat for Humanity
Christian Relief Fund	Bread for the World	Volunteers of America
