These are some of my favorite local charities that need help all year round, but especially at the holidays and during the winter months when resources are scarce for many in our community.
I’ve donated coats to Trinity Jubilee Center and they were very appreciative.
When I was in high school I created and printed a brochure for Safe Voices as part of a graphic design class project (Safe Voices was called something different back then).
If you can help in any way at all, please contact these organizations directly. I am not affiliated with any of these organizations nor do I receive a commission from your donation to them. I am simply sharing contact information and getting the word out that you can help — it does make a difference.
Many organizations maintain a Wish List on their websites.
