Pastor Jeff Wenke and the Journey Church in San Jose, CA developed a fun way to support World Vision in AIDS-devastaed Limpopo, Zimbabwe! Inspired by the Monopoly board game, they printed up Luxury Tax cards and taxed themselves for "luxuries" like running water, cell phones, and even nights out on the town- things that people in Limpopo can only dream about. They raised over $25,000 in one month and sponsored 100 World Vision children!

911 operator Toni Dukes found a way to warm the hands- and hearts- of San Francisco's homeless. She began purchasing and handing out gloves to homeless people, and soon friends and family supported her cause by helping her buy more gloves!

3. Home Cares
Mack Staley collects used medical equipment- wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and more that people no longer need. Then, through his Home Cares organization, he turns around and gives it away to someone in need!
