Take five minutes to help. You can feed five people in less than a minute. You can help by donating time, resources, volunteering, helping with financial donations (tax deductible) and you can help by spreading the word via social networking applications such as twitter, facebook, email, google buzz, etc. There are many ways you can help. You can learn more from my friends at Union Rescue Mission at http://www.urm.org/
Take 5 ... as in feed five .... in less than a minute for $10.
I am going to try something during the month of June. I am going to try to raise a few dollars for the folks over at Union Rescue Mission. They are the oldest and largest mission in Los Angeles. Maybe the largest in the nation.
You can donate $10 to Union Rescue Mission right from your cell phone in seconds.
Text the letters URM to 85944. You will receive a confirmation text message. Reply with the word YES to complete the transaction.
You will feed 5 people for $10 in less than 30 seconds. Your donation is tax deductible.
I am asking folks that read this to please pass on the link to this blog post. I am asking folks on twitter to re-tweet this when they see the post on twitter. Share via facebook, email, forums or anywhere possible.
Hopefully we can all work together and use social media to spread the word and raise a few dollars for the folks at http://www.urm.org/ You can learn much more about what Union Rescue Mission does by clicking on the link. There is a lot of material on their website. You can also donate in other ways including PayPal. (As a side note, I made the first PayPal donation when the system was initiated which was fun on many levels).
I will be updating this post with a running count of the views of the post to see how well the word is spreading.
Many people think they know what the face of homelessness looks like. Many picture a scene like that above.
