Charitable Organizations  

There are numerous ways to be a positive influence in the local community; giving your time or donating dollars to those in need, the work you do or just by being a friendly positive and caring person on a day to day basis. i believe giving back in your own way is an important part in living a meaningful and happy life.Thank you for all that you do to help. 

Below are some charitable organizations that may be of interest to you. Before donating time or money to any organizations I recommend that you invest a little time and research the organization.
