Often, many organizations need monetary help in order to get the resources they need and rely on us for assistance.
Many organzations need clothing to assist those in need. Generally seasonal clothing, blankets, socks, underwear, and shoes go a long way.
Money Clothing Blankets
In colder months, blankets and coats are hugely important for keeping people and animals warm as temperatures drop.
Volunteer Time
Having a charitable mission often means that because money is limited and the aim is to give as much money back to the cause as possible, charities rely on volunteers to help their organizations run smoothly
Food
Many charities strive to provide food for community members who have trouble providing meals for themselves and their families Many charities require non-perishable canned goods. Animal shelters may need food for their strays in the form of dog and cat food. Best to call local charities to get their exact needs.
