Community 5 Hub for Giving, Thu 18 Nov 2004
This is one of the better ideas that I've seen for using the power of the Internet to help people in need. Bravo! We had a desktop computer in excellent condition that we no longer needed and were looking for a place to donate it. We simply posted the item on the Community 5 website, and we received 8-10 responses within the first day. After reviewing them all, and what were looking to use it for, we chose a terrific organization in Dorchester that helped in job training and after school programs. They even arranged to come pick the item up. A really great program Thanks again.
