freekibble legit!

Mimi of www.freekibble.com
So digging around and turns out www.freekibble.com (there's also www.freekibblekat.com for kitties) is a legitimate charity donating kibble to dog shelters. Go check our her press page on www.freekibble.com, it's amazing how wide spread the impact of the girl who started this charity has been.

FreeKibble was started by a 7th grader, Mimi, working with her parents and inspired by the charity site www.freerice.com. Every day there is a new trivia question to answer and in doing so you can donate ten pieces of kibble. It has been around since 2008 and they have helped out in multiple disasters, including when hurricane Fay hit South Florida in 2008 and the latest 2011 disaster, the earthquake-tsunami-combo-hard-hit Japan.

FreeKibble.comMimi is (was?) an eleven year old from Bend, Oregon. She regularly donated pennies and change to her local Humane Society shelter until she turned old enough to start volunteering there at the age of 9. She aspires to one day open her own animal shelter "similar to Best Friends in Utah, the country’s largest animal refuge." (Article)
