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? Gp ---

Quoting from [http://kimberlychapman.com/charitycheck/thehungersite.html](http://kimberlychapman.com/charitycheck/thehungersite.html) > [@](#): > > The Hunger Site has been closed by its owner, [GreaterGood.com](http://GreaterGood.com). [GreaterGood.com](http://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.
