"Meet our guest blogger Alessandra! Originally from Lima, Peru, she moved to New York less than 6 years ago and considers herself a New Yorker at heart. Some of her favorites are coffee-table books, white rice, chick lit, long cardigans, and anything pink. Her goals in life are to make a difference and read as many books as possible. She is an assistant beauty editor at a national magazine. Donating money isn&amp;#039;t the only way to help charity and definitely not the best way when you&amp;#039;re saving for college or a newly grad trying to make it in the real world. Luckily, you can donate to different organizations without spending a penny and with just a click of your mouse. Check out two different causes you can help: Go to FreeKibble.com to answer the fun Bow Wow Trivia of the day. Whether your answer is right or wrong, the site&amp;#039;s partners will donate ten pieces of kibble to be delivered to a dog shelter once a month. So far the site, created by 12-year-old Mimi Ausland from Bend, OR, has donated over 282,251,390 pieces of kibble. If cats are your faves, go to FreeKibbleKat.com to feed felines up for adoption. FreeRice.com gives rice grains donated by sponsors through the United Nations World Food Programme to over 75 countries including Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Uganda. Every time you answer a question right, ten grains of rice go to the program; if you get five answers right, the donation goes up to 50 grains, and so on. Unlike the easy and cute questions at FreeKibble.com, the questions on FreeRice.com are based on vocabulary, math, science, languages, and geography, and can be challenging. It&amp;#039;s an easy way to help feed the hungry around the world, and maybe even help you study vocabulary for the SATs. Do you know of other ways to help charity without spending any money?
