Best apps for giving back

Plan on giving back this holiday season? There’s an app for that:

• Budge – This app lets you challenge your friends to anything from a game of chess to a pizza-eating contest. The winner gives a micro-donation to a preselected charity.

• Charity Miles – Get active. For every mile moved, you earn money for charity.

• Feedie – Upload your favorite food photos for a good cause.

• Walk for a Dog – Support a local animal organization, animal shelter or rescue group by walking your furry four-legged friend.

• Be My Eyes – This free app connects blind people to sighted users for assistance.
