The Last Gift of the Year

Now that it is the end of the year the deadline to donate to charities for tax purposes is here. It’s the perfect way to either give in the name of a loved one or just to be generous to the causes you are passionate for.

We are just highlighting some of our favorite charities that are in desperate need of your help. It’s been a whirlwind of a year with humanity, the environment and those who don’t have a voice suffering the most. Some of the charities we recommend highly are:

Sandy Hook Promise helps fight for stricter gun laws and provides resources to prevent future shootings.

International Rescue Committee goes around the world helping provide sanctuary, food and shelter for disaster victims and refugees around the world.

World Central Kitchen goes around the world providing food during food insecurities during famines, war, natural disasters and political conflicts.

Doctors Without Borders provides emergency health care for those suffering war, famine and natural disasters around the world.

St. Jude Org is a hospital and charity that raises funds to cure childhood cancer, provide free medical care for children with cancer and help make sure their family is financially supported during their care.
