The Christmas Holiday is not just about receiving, but also about giving. While we sit with our families eating our favorite meals and laughing over our favorite Christmas movies, we must remember that many others aren’t as fortunate. A lot of people don’t have warm homes to go to or a nice meal to eat. Donating to charities is a great way to make sure that the holiday cheer is spread out further than just our homes. These are five charities you can donate to this Christmas holiday.
This is a popular charity that works to find cures and treatments for Children suffering from cancer. This disease doesn’t only affect the child, but their families. Donating to this charity can lead to a cure or better treatment for these children.
Toys for Tots mission is to help bring Christmas cheer to every child. You can donate toys by going to a toy drop in your location. If you don’t have time to buy toys, you can always make a quick money donation online. You can find out more information on this through their site. Thankfully, my apartment complex does Toys for Tots every Christmas and residents can just drop toys into the designated boxes.
There are millions of children who currently have one or two parents currently incarcerated. This charity helps those parents provide gifts to their children even while they are in jail.
Make a Wish Foundation works with critically ill children to make their wishes come true. Your donations will aid in that helping. The more funding they get, the more wishes that come true.
Nearly 80% of Senior Citizens don’t have enough food in America and don’t have a means of transportation for accessing food. Meals on Wheels provides meals to Senior citizens with these issues. Your donations can help put a warm meal in the mouths of many senior citizens this holiday season.
