At my suggestion, the Good Counsel Network have set up an Amazon wish list that you can use. If you want to use some other means of sending things, the delivery address is: 15 Maple Grove, Kingsbury, London, NW9 8RD. The list has things at very low cost and others with a higher cost so you can match your gift to your means.
This is not a substitute for actually going out and doing some corporal works of mercy directly; but it would be a shame not to clock up one or two such works from the comfort of your desk!
Another opportunity to support the Good Counsel Network is offered by David Aron who is doing a solo long distance walk to raise funds. He is walking the Thames Path Way (184 miles) in eight days (Fri 07 Oct 11 - Fri 14 Oct 11), carrying all his own kit and provisions. Here is the link for donations.

Heus, reverendissime pater Finigan,
Laudetur Iesus Christus,
Discipulus linguae latinae sum et in hoc anno praeparo meipsum ad eundum in seminarium.
Quaeso te ergo:
quomodo adquirere reliquiam certi sancti possum?
quid est rectus modus ad hoc faciendum?
Salutationes in Christo Crucifixo,

Delectaverunt me tuae litterae sed incommode pauca habeo ut scribam.
Urbis Vicariatus plurimas reliquias custodit; tamen eas non dispensaret nisi ad publicam venerationem essent destinatas. Parochus tuus scribere possit ad obtinendam reliquiam.
Saepe apud sanctuaria sanctorum reliquiae secundae classis distribuuntur. Tum aliquando superiores institutorum vitae consecratae vel postulatores causarum sanctorum christifidelibus reliquias largiuntur.
Opto te semper bene valere praesertim in studiis tuis.
I clicked through and found that the Amazon wishlist consists of items added through Amazon's "universal wishlist" feature, that are not sold through Amazon but actually through other websites. When you try to checkout on the other website, it does not fill in the destination address, neither does the Amazon wishlist page appear to provide it. I am in the USA so I support similar good works in the USA but I thought I would point this out.
Thanks for letting us know Elizabeth. We are not sure why this isn't happening, and we have given Amazon the full address, it seems to work on certain goods ordered and not on others for some reason. Anyway, we have edited the profile information so the full address should be displayed there (with great difficulty since Amazon were determined to protect our privacy!). Good Counsel.
