Giving Tuesday

    The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been designated as "Giving Tuesday" for the past few years.   I know I can't get too excited with all the rest of the holiday spending but giving to a charity this time of the year is more satisfying.  We have many worthy organizations here in Howard County but I wanted to highlight 3 of my favorites.

1) Grassroots---Grassroots started out as a crisis intervention agency but they now handle so many different needs it is hard to list all of them.  One that is especially important this time of the year is the Cold Weather Shelter Program.    Check out their website and consider making a donation.

2) Community Action Council (CAC)-- CAC is the other community organization that responds to a wide range of needs for low-income persons in Howard County.  Check out their website. 

3) Voices for Children- Voices for children provided community advocates for children in the Howard County foster care system.  Check out their website.

     I hope you can find time today to make a donation to one of these organizations or another organization that can use our support.
