Today I attended a meeting in Lima, at the home offices of Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio. LSS provides services such as behavioral health care, senior services, family resources, adoption services, and a food pantry - among other things. To learn more, visit www.lssnwo.org.
They presented this information to me and I thought I would not only participate, but pass it along to you. It is a way to be generous doing something that you are already doing every day - surfing the internet!

Visit www.goodsearch.com and give to charity, just by searching the internet!
How often do we us an internet search engine like Yahoo!, Google, or Ask.com? What if Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio earned a penny every time you did a search? Now it's possible!
GoodSearch.com is a search engine, powered by Yahoo!, that donates half of its revenue (about a penny per search) to the charity fo the searcher's choice. In fact, LSS received a check at the end of 2007 for about $62 - the benefit of 4,649 searches through the end of September - about 1.3 cents per search. It works!
TRY IT! Go to www.goodsearch.com. You will see two boxes - the search box and a box that asks "Who do you GoodSearch for?" Simply enter "Lutheran Social Services of Northwestern Ohio" in the second box, click on "Verify," and start searching.
There are also prompts to add GoodSearch to your tool bar or to make GoodSearch your home page.
You might also want to try GoodShop Online shopping at Kohls, Macy's Target, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CIrcuit City, and more. A designated portion of sales comes to LSS.
