End Child Abuse
Give Teddy Bears to Abused Children
Child abuse occurs at every socio-economic level, across all cultural lines, and at every education level. When a child is abused, they cannot form healthy secure attachments with their parents or sometimes even with other adults and their peers. 1/3 of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the vicious cycle of child abuse. Four children die every day as a result of child abuse, and 3/4 of these children are under the age of 4.

With our sponsors' support, MeetMe donates to Child Help, an organization devoted to helping and treating neglected and abused children.

Send Care Packages to Troops Abroad
We have 675,000 soldiers, 488,000 are currently on active duty and serve our nation to keep us safe by risking their lives every day. These troops are located around the world, on leave from their families, friends, and homes. Sending care packages to these troops abroad not only provides them with much needed materials such as sunscreen but also can raise their morale and voices our appreciation.

By donating Lunch Money, MeetMe with help from our sponsors will be able to donate to the United Service Organization (USO.org), which sends 25,000 care packages to troops every month in an effort to Support Our Troops.

Autism: Help Solve the Puzzle
Support Autism Research
Autism is a disorder that severely affects the way people relate to and communicate with others. There is no cure or set treatment for people living with autism. In most cases parents notice symptoms, such as a lack of verbal communication and uneasiness with physical contact, when the child is 2 or 3 years old. There is no cure for autism, nor is there a set treatment aside from expensive highly structured behavioral programs that vary in their effectiveness. Today, 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, yet there is no known cause.

MeetMe donates to The Dan Marino Foundation for Autism an organization committed to finding the Cause and Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

In the US, 23.6 million children and adults have diabetes, and 5.7 million do not realize they have it. Having diabetes can double the risk of depression, and cause stroke, heart disease, and blindness. In 2002, Diabetes was the 6th leading cause of death.

200 children around the world develop type-1 diabetes every day, and in the past 3 years rates of type-2 diabetes have doubled in the US. Children with type-1 diabetes in some underdeveloped countries like Mozambique are expected to die within a year.

MeetMe with help from our sponsors donates to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF.org), an organization with a mission to find the cure for diabetes.

Feed Rescued Animals
Buy pet food for animals in need
Between 6 and 8 million animals are dropped off at animal shelters every year, but only 25-35% of them will eventually be adopted. This leads animal shelters to put some animals to sleep in order to create more space and save money on food, grooming, and other pet necessities.

The North Shore Animal League is the world's largest no kill animal shelter. Since its start, NSAL has rescued more than 1 million animals and found loving homes for them. By donating to NSAL through MeetMe and our sponsors, you can provide dogs with much needed food and keep them healthy and safe until they are adopted into loving and nurturing homes

Buy rice for the hungry
Hunger is more deadly than AIDS, malaria, and TB combined. Nearly 15% of the world population is chronically hungry - that's 850 million people - and most of them are children. Today, 25,000 people will die of hunger, and 18,000 of them will be children.

With help from our sponsors, we donate to the World Food Programme which is the world's largest food assistance agency, working with over 3,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. Donate rice today to help the World Food Programme save lives.

Aid the battle for LGBTQ rights
14.2% of reported hate crimes were based on sexual orientation and most were violent in nature according to FBI hate crime statistics. In the U.S., 97% of students report regularly hearing homophobic remarks from peers, and 26% of teens that come out to their parents were forced to leave home.

It is clear that in the US and abroad LGBTQ people do not have the same rights entitled to them as do heterosexual individuals and couples. With help from our sponsors, MeetMe donates to The Human Rights Campaign (HRC.org), America's largest civil rights organization in an effort to Promote Equality.

Raise Breast Cancer Awareness, Save Lives
A woman has a 1 in 8 chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer sometime in her life, and a 1 in 33 chance of dying of breast cancer. About 180,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed last year, but the incidence of cancer death is decreasing mostly due to early detection. There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

Early detection increases the 5-year survival rate from 89% to 98%, meaning that if caught early, only 2% of women with breast cancer will die after five years of being diagnosed. Thus it is important to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of women around the world.

In an effort to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness, MeetMe with the support of our sponsors donates to Living Beyond Breast Cancer.

Save the Rainforest
Stop the destruction of rain forests.
Rainforests are crucial for all humanity. They provide sources for plants used in medicines, sustain over 50% of the earth's species, and reduce global warming by consuming carbon dioxide. However, although rainforests are invaluable to the Earth, more than 2 acres of rainforest are destroyed every second.

Our sponsors make it possible to donate to Conservation International, and using your Lunch Money, you can protect the rainforest one square foot at a time and protect the world's most diverse ecosystems.

Remove CO from the atmosphere
Excess carbon dioxide in the air is causing storm systems to be more severe, polar ice caps to melt, and will cause more than 1 million animal species to die out in the next 50 years. If we do nothing, rising tides will make hundreds of millions of people homeless and change the nature of life on Earth.

To save our planet, it is important to both reduce your own carbon dioxide emissions, and to offset what you cannot reduce. By donating to CarbonFund.org with help from our sponsors we can offset carbon dioxide making the world a better -- and cooler -- place.

More than 20 million people worldwide have died of AIDS. Currently, 40 million people are living with HIV-95% of these people live in developing nations—and there are 6000 new infections per day. Nearly half of all new infections occur among people 15-24 years old, and more than 26 million children are projected to be orphaned by HIV/AIDS in 2010. There is no cure for AIDS, but by using a condom a person's risk is greatly reduced.

With help from our sponsors, MeetMe donates to The Global Fund, an organization devoted to disbursing resources for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
