Holiday greetings, friends,
Here are lists from local nonprofits detailing what they need to serve our community. We encourage you to research the details on what specific kinds/brands/sizes/conditions of things are needed; some are legal mandates, so please do call ahead to make sure your gift is appropriate. To save space, we've taken requests for cash, volunteers, and office supplies out of the lists. Whatever you wish to give, call your intended recipient and shower them with your tangible affection.
Let's do this, darling Austin. Let's support the good these superheroes do all year long.
