Social media for good use!

One of the wonderful benefits of the social media is that it can give crucial support to nonprofit organizations. One of the nonprofits I work for, Los Angeles House of Ruth, is taking part in the Chase Community Giving program. Chase has pledged to help 100 small charities that are chosen by votes from the public! This will be the easiest way you have ever helped change someone’s life! With a few clicks of the mouse, you can help LOS ANGELES HOUSE OF RUTH be one of the winning charities! This money will go towards their Transitional Shelter program which helps homeless abused single mothers and their children off the streets, out of poverty and into permanent homes!

Please take a few minutes to vote now and help House of Ruth win this funding which can save lives!
