Tzedakah

Danny Siegel, known as “The Pied Piper of Tzedakah” began asking for money from friends in the 1970’s, giving small amounts (less than $10) to “Mitzvah heroes” he met while traveling in Israel . His ZIV Tzedakah Fund has since that time distributed $6,700,000. His books are listed at  www.ziv.org/danny.html 

Jewish Fund for Justice "addresses the causes and consequences of poverty on a non-sectarian basis."
