The holiday season is now here and many people are asking where holiday donations can be made to help make this season a little brighter for those families impacted by this disaster. At this time, we encourage individuals to reach out to community service agencies and local non-profit organizations who collect donations and provide services to families throughout the year, and particularly during the holiday season.
Monetary Donations
The best way to help recovery efforts is through monetary donations to trusted organizations. Monetary donations are the easiest to manage and provide the means to purchase the exact items in need.
