This week:

There are few problems so simple that a single donation can fix them.

Usually, to turn a problem into a realistic opportunity takes many donations. Over time, spread over a large number of donors.

But all the work before that is kind of exhausting: you’ve gotta make sure your donation goes to the right place, the right organization, the right people — usually the ones closest to the problem — with the most pragmatic intentions.

Here's What You Can Do:

• Donate to Give Directly and put cash straight into the pockets of the people who need it the most.
• Volunteer with Overdose Lifeline to support their harm reduction and awareness efforts.
• Get educated about starting a resilience hub in your community with resources from the USDN.
• Be heard about making healthy school meals free for students everywhere.
• Invest in a sustainable future and find a clean bank to move your money into using
