Disclaimer: Aside from the House of Bread and Peace (and that was a donation of things not money), I haven't donated to any of these charities. I looked them all up online and looked up a site that rates them. They all had high ratings, but I do want you to know that I haven't actually donated through them.
House of Bread and Peace: Woman and Children's Shelter
If you're in Evansville, this is a shelter for women and children. I don't know tons about it, but I met a woman who worked there at my kids' santa shop this December and she made a really positive impression on me. She was caring, but down-to-earth. And the House of Bread and Peace accepts lots of kinds of donations--food, clothes, toys, etc. They can be used or not. The food can be homemade or not. http://sites.google.com/site/houseofbreadandpeace/
I seem to have a thing for the sponsor-a-child ones because they tended to draw my interest. I believe that the ones below you can sponsor a person or donate.
