About The Animal Rescue Site
The
Animal Rescue Site was founded to help feed and care for some of
the 27 million unwanted animals given to shelters in the US every
year. Since its launch in July of 2002, the site has established
itself as a clear leader in online activism and a dynamic force
in the effort to give all animals the happy, healthy lives they
deserve. In The Animal Rescue Site's first year of operation, 22.9
million bowls of food were funded for animals in need. Click banner
to enter site.
With the simple, daily click of the purple "Fund Food for
Animals" button, visitors fund bowls of food for formerly neglected
or abused animals now living in shelters or sanctuaries. Visitors
pay nothing. Site sponsors pay for all funding, which benefits
three leading animal welfare charities: The Fund for Animals, Petfinder.com
Foundation and North Shore Animal League America.
The Animal Rescue Site relies on its passionate supporters. Visitors
increase the number of clicks, and the number of animals helped,
by spreading the word to family and friends.
In addition to clicking the button, visitors can help feed and
care for animals by shopping in The
Animal Rescue Site store. With each item they buy, shoppers
automatically generate funds for 14 to 28 bowls of food for hungry
animals, at no extra cost.
About The Hunger Site
Originally
launched in June 1999, The Hunger Site focuses the power of the
Internet on a specific humanitarian need; the eradication of world
hunger. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world
visit the site each day to click the "give free food"
button and help feed the hungry. Click the banner to enter the site.
The Hunger Site was the first online activism site on the Web.
To date more that 200 million visitors have given more than 300
million cups of staple food. Viewers pay nothing to feed
the hungry with their click- the sponsors pay for the food!
The staple food funded by The Hunger Site is paid for by site sponsors
and is distributed to those in need by Mercy Corps and America's
Second Harvest. 100% of funding from sponsor banner advertising
goes to our charity partners. Funds are split between these organizations
and go to the aid of hungry people in over 74 countries, including
those in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America
and North America.
