<p>Observed every year on June 23<sup>rd</sup>, the United Nations’ <strong>Public Service Day</strong> celebrates the value and virtue of community service.</p>
<p>Plastic Jungle has partnered with nearly 90 organizations, both big and small. Whether it’s a world-renown association like the American Red Cross or your neighborhood high school, Junglers can choose to act globally or locally. Check out our <strong><a title="Non-Profit Directory" href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-cards/non-profit-directory?utm_source=SocialMedia&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=PublicServiceDay" target="_blank">Non-Profit Directory</a></strong> for the complete list.</p>

Select the &#8221;Donate to Charity&#8221; option under the Payout Choice.</li>
<li><strong>Before you confirm your transaction</strong>, look for the blue and green ribbon to make a donation and select a nonprofit to support.</li>

<p>Make a difference today and everyday. While Public Service Day is designated as June 23rd, you can donate gift cards all year long. What charity is near and dear to your heart? Tell us &#8211; we&#8217;d love to know. Maybe it&#8217;s the environment, hunger and poverty or disaster relief. Or perhaps it&#8217;s health and disease, children or the elderly. Plastic Jungle is pleased to help you connect with the organization of your choice.</p>
