Gifts of giving

For some, the opportunity is to give yourself a gift. Thankfully, the movement of giving a donation is increasing and more people are choosing to give back rather than focus on receiving. If done right, giving is a good gift – and all you need is just ask.

We have selected two organizations that we will support this year by raising awareness of their work. Perhaps they will inspire you with a non-traditional gift in these non-traditional times.
