How Can We Help Beat Poverty?

This Wednesday, October 15th, is Blog Action Day—which means thousands of weblogs across the internet (including this one) will post about a single topic: poverty.

The purpose is to raise awareness about the interesting ways people from all walks of life are helping those in need.

What are your favorite charities, volunteer opportunities, or projects out there related to poverty?

Tell us your story in the comments—and when you can, include links, images, videos, anything you've got—and we'll feature our favorites here on Wednesday.

Thanks in advance for your help and participation.
