GUID E TO G I V I N G BACK By Sara Hall
As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of charitable giving and volunteering grows. But in this unprecedented time, how to give back has changed. Many nonprofit organizations have had to rework their volunteer and fundraising programs due to COVID-19. Events and opportunities for people to help out have been canceled or rescheduled, in some cases indefinitely. For the limited volunteer opportunities that have reemerged since the pandemic began, requirements and responsibilities have shifted in order to ensure a COVIDsafe environment. The good news is that there are plenty of groups still in need of help in this new philanthropic world, and on the next several pages is a roundup of different ways you can jump into the spirit of giving this season.
