This holiday season, reddit.com is launching its first Feed A Need project. This is my first big project I've worked on at reddit, and I'm totally overwhelmed by the generous response from volunteer redditors and sponsors. We've had volunteers from all over the world. Amazing. Here are the details: Instead of asking for monetary donations, we're asking people to donate a few hours of their skills & energy. So if you are a programmer, designer, artist, lawyer, geology professor, bacon cooker, or anyone else with a few hours to spend for a good cause please consider participating in this year's Feed a Need charity drive.
To participate, fill out this form with as much information as possible. Your information will be entered into our "Database of Awesome", and you will be matched up with a project for a needy charity. See the list of non-profits here, vote up your favorite or submit one of your own. You needn't volunteer in order to help us choose the charities whose needs we'll be feeding. But by working for at least 2 hours on a Feed A Need charity project before the deadline on February 14th, 2009, you're eligible for some great prizes
Andrew Sullivan recently cheered the "Power of the reddit generation". Let us show the world what our generation can accomplish in the name of a good cause. Join the project here.
Thanks for the informative post. It's always nice to see everyone helping each other.

I totally agree with Sher, it's nice to see people helping each other. i like to think of it as paying it forward. just like in the movie "Pay it Forward" starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Joel Osment.
