Charitable organizations

Hello. I was recently awarded a fairly substantial cash prize through the university (you can guess which one). I'm obviously delighted about it and could use the money, but I also feel that I should try to be more active in supporting local Cville communities in need, especially in the present moment.

So, does anyone know of any local charities that you'd like to plug? I would especially be interested in any charities that do important work related to housing, youth services, or other projects you think deserve special praise. Thanks!
