The holidays are right around the corner and there is nothing like giving to those in need. With everyone's busy schedule, there isn't always enough time to physically go out and volunteer, but there are other ways to help. Here are a few charities you can give your spare change to that will help others.

2. No Kid Hungry

No Kid Hungry is working to eradicate child hunger by partnering with schools and other organizations to provide students and children with breakfast.

No Kid Hungry believes that child hunger is not only a problem currently but also in the future because children that do not get the nutrients they need have a harder time focusing and learning in school, "We're in danger of losing an entire generation of leaders, innovators and problem-solvers."

Who knows, one of the children helped by this organization could even be the future president. Here is No Kid Hungry's link if you'd like to help.

3. Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood provides health services and sexual reproductive education to men and women across the globe. That's right, I said men too. Their primary services include sexual education and preventative care in order to prevent unintended pregnancies from occurring. They also work to educate people on safe sex to prevent the spread of STI's and give cervical cancer screenings for women.

Each year, Planned Parenthood reaches out to educate 1.5 million young people and adults in an effort to educate and inform about sex.
