With unemployment, cut-backs, debt, financial problems and rising food prices, the economy is taking a toll on many people this Thanksgiving season where they are resorting to the unimaginable -- asking for food donations and handouts through street panhandling, homeless shelters, pantries, food banks and missions. They are also making their pleas for Thanksgiving food donations through the online version of traditional begging by asking strangers for help via the Internet. This form of online begging is called "cyber begging."

There are many variations of donation requests from the people who need help. Many post cries for financial or monetary help.

"I am a single mom going to school who needs financial help. I was laid off twice last year from two different jobs, and at the present time, I am working part time at a retail store and going to college…".

Others post their stories of need asking for Thanksgiving food donations or clothing for themselves or their family.

"I don't know where to start so I will just ask – we need shopping vouchers for food. My husband lost his job a few days before I found out I was 6 months pregnant with twins. There is so much more to write but this is our problem so all I ask is for food and clothes…."

Begslist.org is an online monetary and food donations website dedicated to helping people in need through the use of free cyber begging. Try something different this Thanksgiving besides eating turkey and watching your favorite football game. Instead, take the time to send food donations or offer financial support to those less fortunate. One of the most effective and timely ways to donate to people who desperately need help is to make monetary or Thanksgiving food donations online by going to www.begslist.org.

About Begslist.org

Cyber begging, Internet begging, or Internet panhandling is the online version of traditional begging or panhandling where people can ask strangers for money, food, clothing, or shelter. Begging online has a clear advantage to street begging or panhandling where it can be done with relative anonymity, thus eliminating or reducing the embarrassment, shame, or keeping one's dignity that associated with begging in public. Begslist is a free way to ask for donations online, maintain privacy, and protect one's pride when begging for help.

Since 2007, Begslist has tried to keep the reputation of establishing itself as free cyber begging website that allows access to anyone who needs help as compared to a paid cyber begging (pay-to-post) website by offering users FREE postings to ask for help.
