Skip 1, which kicked off September 1, encourages donors to skip spending money on one day of September and instead donate to help bring food and clean water to children all over the world.
The organization, which builds and renovates kitchens within orphanages in impoverished areas, says donors can designate that 100% of their "Skiptember" contribution goes towards Hurricane Harvey relief by making a note in the "comments" section of Skip 1's donation page.
It also supports food distribution and feeding programs and helps with clean water initiatives.
Meanwhile, Bure also donated money in honor of Skip 1's one-year anniversary on September 6.
"My birthday's April 6th so on September 6th I'm skipping a mani/pedi and donating that money instead to skip1.org," she shared.
