Mrs. Tick and I are looking for worthy charities, as well — thanks for starting this thread.

In particular we’d like to find some good ones that help out our military folks.

SandRat posted yesterday regarding a group that builds housing for disabled soldiers. That one looks pretty good:

Any advice y’all have on others would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. We have SO much to be thankful for!

The VFW has 3 good ones- Military Assistance Program (MAP), Operation Uplink (phone cards), and Unmet Needs (grants for military folks having a hard time financially).

America Supports You is a DOD site listing many worthwhile charities supporting our troops and their families, both here in the States and deployed overseas. My favorites from their list include:

Operation Gratitude

Proud Patriots

Any Soldier

By way of disclosure, I am the president of Proud Patriots.

Here is another one to consider! Happy Thanksgiving All.
