Philanthropic Calen dar 2021–2022 Charity

As promised, the Fall-Winter Philanthropy Calendar is back. In-person events are back and our local non-profits need us more than ever. I am sure you have noticed when going to restaurants and shopping in stores, but everyone is short staffed. That means it must be even harder to find volunteers for our non-profits. Do your part by supporting a cause of your choosing at one, or more, of these events. As always, be sure to keep checking the event’s website for the most up to date information on the event.
