Blog Series: A Little Bit More

Times are tough. Yet in the face of economic hardship we see our friends, neighbors, and colleagues reaching out and taking care of one another.

We're blogging occasionally about the "little somethings" that people and organizations are doing to respond to the needs around them—things that, if done by many people all around the world, add up to make a big impact.

If you have an example to share, please comment on a blog entry or write to us at pbarber@idealist.org to let us know.
