Merry Christmas and now Happy New Year! Sorry this didn't get posted. I thought I had scheduled this to automatically post, but I goofed! To anyone who has been reading the 12 Days of Christmas posts, I promised to do a post of all of the other suggestions for donations and volunteering. I hope something has been helpful! Maybe I posted something new and interesting that you'd like to check out. Or, maybe it was a reminder to donate money before the end of the tax year. Or, maybe it inspired you to find or remember your own personal individual or group that might need your monetary or non-monetary support.
1. From Shannon Stanbro of 5280mod.com and 5280mod.blogspot.com:
"While no organization is perfect, I agree that the Red Cross does incredible work. (The Mile High Chapter is housed in an incredible piece of architecture to boot!)
My favorite Denver Metro assistance organization is Family Tree. "Since 1976, Family Tree has provided a broad range of services and shelter to families and youth of metro Denver to overcome child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness."
My family does a pre-holiday purge of outgrown/under-used clothes and toys to be donated to Family Tree's thrift store. Proceeds help fund their programs AND clients of Family Tree can shop there for free.

2. I just read the New York Times, Motherlode.com blog. She has a blog posting, "How Much to Give" about giving this holiday season with lots of suggestions about giving in non-monetary terms. I thought it was great!
