Featured Charity : Waterkeeper Alliance

Access to clean water is a natural basic human right. I am glad that organizations like Waterkeeper Alliance and many others are out there working to keep our natural resources clean and protected.

Today wraps up Living Philanthropic’s featured charity for May and we’ve raised $337 for Waterkeeper this month.
