Every donation helps to make life better for others, through the 55 local organizations we support.
Volunteers in the local chapter of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller, have researched these charitable organizations, and more, to determine which ones need the money the most, and which ones are the most efficient with the money they receive.
Make no doubt: There is massive need this year, so it is important that the money we raise helps as many people as possible.
Your donations are making a tremendous difference. Thanks, yet again.
