Review for The Global Switchboard, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
This organization educates citizens about global issues, how they affect communities, and the need for all communities - including those in the Pittsburgh region - to come up with solutions to address those issues. They also provide opportunities for action and advocacy. The small staff is passionate about impacting our community and has influenced my understanding of how interconnected all communities are and about the importance of grassroots citizen action. I was introduced to Global Solutions because they are one of the primary members of the Pittsburgh Darfur Emergency Coalition, another organization that I volunteer with.

Review for Dollar Energy Fund Inc, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
This great organization helps people stay warm in the long, cold winters by helping them to pay their heating bills. Not only is the service of this organization vital to the continued financial viability of many families, but it is SO easy to donate to them. I used their add-a-buck program, which just lets you check a box on your utility bill to add a dollar. I don't even notice the dollar difference in my heating bill, but I know every buck is important to help people stay warm.
