Check out www.freerice.com to feed the hungry while having fun with words.
It is an interesting twist on the typical Click-to-Donate idea: The site features a word game where you pick the correct meaning of a word out of 4 choices. Each correct answer earns 20 grains of rice. The more you play, and the better you get, the more rice is amounted daily to feed hungry people in third-world countries.
It's a fun and engaging way to get even more food to people who need it, and you get the personal benefit of improving and enhancing your vocabulary as you do this, and have some fun along the way.
