With the recent news about Haiti, now is a good time to get around to a chore you may have been putting off for awhile—cleaning out your closets. According to Soles4Souls, a charity that sends your old shoes to those in need, Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unworn shoes around the house. Sound familiar? If you have gently worn shoes you never wear anymore, drop them off at a participating location or ship them to one of the charity’s U.S. locations. You can even make it a community event, with their new Project Haiti campaign. Learn more about it here.

While money is needed most in relief efforts for Haiti, this is an easy way to help in addition to your monetary donation. Also, it’s terrific motivation to get cleaning, so get started now!

Hitting the movie theater is costly these days (especially for concession stand addicts, such as myself), but I still think it’s one of the most fun, relaxing things you can do with friends and family. So, here’s some good news!

AMC’s 2009 Summer MovieCamp is throwing a bone to families with little ones. Every Wednesday from now until July 29, AMC theaters will charge $1 per person to view the G- and PG-rated films on their list of hit 2008 films, such as Horton Hears a Who and Kung Fu Panda. Even better, admission and concession proceeds will benefit Variety-The Children’s Charity and the Will Rogers Institute. Find participating locations at amctheatres.com/smc.

On my ongoing quest to find inexpensive or free ways to give back, I nearly forgot one of the most basic forms of generosity that directly saves lives: giving blood. I guess I’m not alone; less than 10% of Americans donate blood annually, and of those who don’t, most say they “never thought of it” as their reason. But each donation can save three lives, and this summer—the season in which most blood shortages occur—I encourage you to take part.
