Ways to Share makes it easy for individuals, families, church or civic groups, businesses and corporations to plan their holiday or year-end giving.
“We hope that Ways to Share will encourage anyone who can make charitable gifts of time, money or goods to make a real difference in people’s lives, especially those hit hardest by the economy, “ said Nancy Roberts, Council president.
Items on this year’s list range from warm clothing and toys to turkeys, paper goods and gift cards. If you have time to give over the holidays, you can find a place to help serve a holiday dinner, wrap presents, or distribute food baskets.
