Give Back This Holiday Season

The holiday season promises a joyous celebration with fabulous feasts, good company and long-awaited presents. But, it can often be a challenging time for many in the community. If you’re looking to spread cheer and goodwill, consider supporting the nonprofits below or in the chamber’s nonprofit business directory listing.

Nov. 29 is Giving Tuesday and all area nonprofits would appreciate donations. Here’s some with special events or fundraising drives.
