Around this time each year, many of us reflect on what we are grateful for and how we can help those less fortunate than ourselves. Between exchanging gifts and reconnecting with loved ones, there are many nonprofits you can give to this holiday season.
Here are just a few of the many nonprofit organizations near you and worldwide that are worth supporting. They are inclusive and impactful and create monumental change for those who need it most.
Direct Relief
Direct Relief has improved lives since 1948. They provide medical resources to those in poverty and experiencing disaster, both in the U.S. and beyond. Volcanoes, wildfires, disease outbreaks and wars are just a few of the many emergencies Direct Relief responds to. For example, in 2005 they provided care to over 37,170 evacuees during Hurricane Katrina.
Direct Relief helps all people, regardless of politics, religion or financial status. Donate today to provide lifesaving resources to those who need it most.
Climate Foundation
Climate change is an ever-looming reality, and will only get worse if we don’t take action. The Climate Foundation has locations across the United States and a goal of creating a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions society.
Additionally, the Climate Foundation works to create a safer world for thousands of species and provide enough food for humans. If you are dedicated to reversing global warming in your lifetime, make a pledge today.
Goodwill Industries
With over 4,245 locations across the U.S., Goodwill is one of the largest and most accessible nonprofit organizations near you. They provide career counseling, skills training, jobs and resume prep services to help people facing barriers to employment.
In addition to strengthening your community, your donation helps preserve the planet and ensure that kids have gifts to look forward to this holiday season. Simply dropping off a bag of clothing or toys can make a monumental difference. For more information, locate your nearest donation center.
Le Coeur du Partage d’Etienne
As we cook delicious meals with loved ones this holiday season, it can be easy to forget that many face food insecurity worldwide. Kids in Africa are especially at risk, and not having enough to eat can make it difficult for children to envision futures for themselves.
Le Coeur du Partage d’Etienne works towards a future where every child’s belly is full, throughout the holiday season and beyond. Make that vision a reality by donating today.
