E-mail from the First Lady-Elect:
"While many of us will spend the holidays counting our blessings and sharing dinner with loved ones, millions of people around the country won't be so fortunate. Donating to your local food bank will help provide a holiday meal to people in your community who can't afford one.
"Talking with the families of deployed troops was one of the most rewarding experiences I had during the campaign. Giving to Operation USO Care Package is a great way to send members of our military stationed around the world a reminder that someone back home is thinking of them.
"This is a time to celebrate our blessings, the new year, and a new era for our country. But it's also a time to come together on behalf of those who need our help.
"Do what you can to help today by locating your local food bank and giving your support:

"Or send a care package to an American in uniform:

P.S., a few suggestions of mine:
Kids Against Hunger
Salvation Army
American Friends Service Committee
Doctors Without Borders
A Happy and Healthy Holiday to All!
