Wow. Probably the first piece of potential spam I've ever seen on here and the "Spam Bulldog" is nowhere to be seen. Go figure.

OP here

I know, I know, I was totally prepared for someone to call me on Spamming. But I thought I'd take the chance. I couldn't think of a better place to post about such a worth and appropriate cause. Thanks!

how in the world is this spam? it directly links to a page on which you choose your state from a drop-down box and then "walk" a heart into a house. that step finishes the whole deal. and it is DONATING to a great cause. there's no sale or flashy art linking to a sale or any area for further personal information to bombard you in the future. do you even know what "spam" is? i donated for my state. i think this program is awesome! i donate plenty on a regular basis, but these products never crossed my mind! thanks to the OP for educating me and helping me help others help others!!

this link in no way qualifies as such.

This link reminds me of something I used to do annually which was load up on shampoo, hairspray, deoderant, towels, contact solution, washcloths and sanitary pads/tampons and take them to a local church who would donate them to a women's shelter (they had a big drive every year in my old neighborhood). I haven't done that since I moved and your post reminded me that I need to find a way to keep it up in my new neighborhood too.
