if charities/ non profits started PEOPLES EXCHANGE Shops to empower the people as well as help in ultimately funding the org itself?

Given the state of the economy and many people working 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet, they still can't meet basic needs of the family unit. A PEOPLES EXCHANGE would be an excellent way to help people help themselves and at the same time help fund the org who hosts it.

It would also be helping the environment by diverting goods to the PEOPLES EXCHANGE instead of the ever swelling landfills.

Please check out the thread on the PEOPLES EXCHANGE group link above for starting a PEOPLES EXCHANGE Shop.

Hi, I'm very new to this site and would like to introduce myself to you. 

The Know Now Foundationis looking for people with a passion for Breast Cancer Awareness.  We're looking for socially conscious Individuals and Business Owners to donate kits to  Non-Profit Organizations that in turn distribute the kits to the neediest women.  We're also looking for Non-Profit Organizations wishing to be recipients of these FREE Breast Chek Kits to either distribute to their people or to even use them as a Fund Raiser.

My name is Debbie and I am one of the lucky ladies whose breast tumors were benign.  I had 2 of them removed along with the mammary glands in both of my breast, and even after being through all of that, I didn't even think about doing my  monthly breast self exams!  Stupid, huh? 

Well, in October of 2007, I met a lady that changed my life.  She showed me a "Breast Chek Kit" and asked if I was performing my self breast exams?  I was embarrassed when I had to say "No, I haven't been doing that!" 

All that is changed now!  I'm on a mission and I've learned that 1 in 7 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and if detected very early, there is nearly a 100% chance of survival! I've also learned that only 14% of American Women actually perform their MBSE and more than 1/2 of them are performing it incorrectly! 

It's time for people to share their own stories and what they've learned so we can educate each other about the importance and urgency of MBSE.  Early detection REALLY does save lives!

What would you say if I told you there is an inexpensive Breast Chek Kit you can use to give yourself or the lady in your life a much easier, more thorough MBSE and YOU can be instrumental in getting one in the hands of women everywhere?  What if I told you that you could even get FREE ones into the hands of women at risk and under-priviledged women as well, even women in the remotest areas of the world.  Some of these women cannot get to a facility to get themselves an annual clinical breast exam or mammogram??

If you would like to be a part of this life saving mission, please visit my website:  www.YouCanKnowNow.com or call me at 985-892-5858 in Covington, LA just north of New Orleans (We are on Central Standard Time, so please call between 8am and 9pm CST)  I look forward to sharing this information with you!
