One of my favorite things about Oprah, is how giving she is. I have been continually inspired by her many philanthropic efforts. I think it is so important for those of us who are blessed to not only have jobs ( that we love), homes to live in and our health but also cushy things to make our lives easier to give back to those who are not as fortunate. Oprah supports many different charities and also does many good deeds, using her show and her Angel’s Network. We can all aspire to me for giving, thoughtful and selfless. Below are some of the great ways Oprah gives back and great charities Oprah supports as well as some of our favorite over here.

She also did a great show exposing the terrible world of puppy mills and the positive work of Main Line Animal Rescue – http://www.mainlinerescue.com/. And I also loved the show with Drew Barrymore on the World Food Programme- http://www.wfp.org. Thanks for sharing such great causes and I agree- its so important to use your skills, talents and, if possible, monetary donations to give back!
