I just fell into spending more time with a few NA's over on Daily Kos, where they're some of the more outspoken and active members, despite their small numbers. They've raised all sorts of money for various programs on several rezzes - a battered women's shelter, a food pantry and learning annex, and propane for folks in the winter. They're also some of the most giving people I've ever met, even those living in deep poverty themselves.
