The holiday season might be when the concept of charity is at top of mind. But there are always a number of ways you can dive in to make a remarkable difference in the lives of local kids, families, and seniors year-round. Here are three of our favorite local causes:
Happy Heart Grams: To meet the needs of isolated seniors that may not otherwise receive a card this Valentine' Day, Seniors First in Auburn created Happy Heart Grams.
