The holiday season is a time for us to cherish our loved ones and be thankful for everything that we have, but we must remember those who are not as fortunate as we are. No matter how small or large your contribution, giving to charities during the holidays is a wonderful way to help those in need and truly make a difference in someone’s life. Here are some of our favorite charities for you to keep in mind during this holiday season:
