There are a lot of great charities out there, but sometimes it's hard to know which ones are trustworthy and effective. That's why I've decided to blog about some causes that are deserving of your time and patronage. All of the causes I'll be writing about are committed to making the world a better place, so you can feel great about helping them out. If anyone has information about amazing charities that also deserve the spotlight please let me know!
This month's cause is RAINN: The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network. Sexual Assault is a growing problem;every 2 1/2 minutes someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Founded in 1994, RAINN has now helped over one million people dealing with the difficult issues of rape, abuse, and/or incest. RAINN is the largest anti-sexual assult organization, and was recently named one of America's top 100 charities by Worth magazine. Among its programs, RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE. This nationwide partnership of more than 1,100 local rape treatment hotlines provides victims of sexual assault with free, confidential services around the clock. RAINN also operates an online hotline that provides confidential crisis support for individuals in need. Additionally, RAINN is a frequent resource for television, radio and print news outlets — as well as local, state and national policymakers, law enforcement and rape treatment professionals — on the issues related to rape and sexual assault. If you are interested in learning more about this fantastic organization visit www.rainn.org to discover ways to get involved. *Below are some public service announcements produced by RAINN*
