Does anyone know what happened to this site? I used to visit it and its “realtives” fairly regularly to make my click, as it seemed (from all I’ve read) to be a bona fide operation.
Then one day, a notice saying that it was undergoing renovation - that lasted for a week or two and now: “Cannot find server or DNS Error”
Anyone know?

It recently went bankrupt. It’s gone.

Quoting from http://kimberlychapman.com/charitycheck/thehungersite.html
The Hunger Site has been closed by its owner, GreaterGood.com . GreaterGood.com was a for-profit entity that decided it could not make enough money. When/if someone else takes over the URL and establishes a new one-click, free donation site there, I shall complete a new review without reference to the old site.
You also may want to read the recap of the problems between the Hunger Site and the UN at http://kimberlychapman.com/charitycheck/wfp_ths.html .
Thanks - exactly what I was looking for…

Note that link should not have a period at the end of it…
It’s back! I checked it today, and sure enough, there it was.

I just went there & there was some flashing Ad on the bottom of the page that said ‘Lose 20 lbs by Oct…’
Cute.
