CREDO Action from Working Assets and Veterans For Peace have teamed up again this year to provide phone cards to veterans recuperating in V.A. hospitals so they can call their families during the holiday season. Last year they raised more than $90,000, which, thanks to a sweetheart 2.9-cents-per-minute deal with Sprint, was enough to ship more than 24,000 cards loaded with 3,180,000 minutes to V.A. hospitals all over the United States. A tax-deductible $10.50 donation will provide 120-minute phone cards to three veterans; a $35 donation will get two-hour cards to 10 veterans.

So how about helping out a needy veteran or two by enabling them reach out to family and friends during the holiday season. Go here to make a donation.
