This year, we are helping 55 local organizations that work directly with those in need.
The organizations were chosen with the help of volunteers in the local chapter of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller, who determined which charities needed money the most, and which ones are the most efficient with the money they receive.
As the year winds down, thanks again for offering your help to those in need. Your donations are making a tremendous difference.
