As usual, I recommend:
- Child’s Play. Games for kids in hospitals.
- Toys for Tots. Read this using your best Marine Drill Instructor voice for the full effect.
- Salvation Army.
- American Red Cross.
Feel free to add your own.

Time for the Child’s Play post again.
For those who don’t know, Child’s Play is a charity that provides toys and games to kids undergoing hospital stays (particularly ones with an ongoing condition): it is pretty much the gamer industry charity, and is by now an international venture. It’s starting to get to be Christmas season, so if you are looking for somewhere to put a little charitable contribution, this is a pretty good choice.
Via Penny Arcade, obviously.

What are your favorite Christmas charities?
I’m a little late in thinking about this – new kid, and everything – but there’s always Child’s Play. This is Penny Arcade’s signature charity: it provides games and toys for sick kids while they’re in the hospital. Details are here.
And there’s not much else to say besides that, really. Except that there’s always somebody less fortunate, alas.
, and is (to the best to my knowledge) in the public domain.
