    Ideas needed immediately, please

    Hi,I have been dragging my feet too long and am always thinking things are way too hard for me to actually do which I know really is not the case. I need to act and want to get started now.

    Your ideas are appreciated.

    1)What do u believe is a charitable ministry I can start immediately to serve others in need (i.e feed the hungry) and simultaneously can earn about 100 dollars a week to support myself from what I collect. I figured if I work 50 hours on the charity a week then $100/weekly is reasonable while building the charity.

    2) My capital to start up is very low what type of charity based system can I use with knowing I can tweak and expand as time goes on. The key is to get started. i don't even care if it is a corporation now, arent there other structures where its very simple to just begin collecting donations. I don't care about tax exception right now. I think the bigger issue is 4me to just move and begin.

    I was thinking, feeding the hungry (which is an awesome cause) donate all money to the hungry, keep the very small amount for myself and build the program as I am learning. Feasible?


    Thank you very much

    It is very clear your are ambitious and passionate about this. I don't know to many people who are willing to be compensated $2 an hour for their efforts.

    The only way you could do something like this without forming a legal corporation is by connecting with a local church in your community.

    I know I personally wouldn't donate a dime to a charity that is nothing more than a single person taking donations.
