This holiday season, when making your gift list for friends and family, don&8217;t forget to leave a spot to give to those who are less fortunate.

With numerous local organizations sponsoring projects and charitable organizations, the holidays are a perfect time to join in with support for the community.

Even when times are tough and pennies are tight, every little bit counts, whether it is digging out some change to put into the Salvation Army Red Kettle or even the generous donation of time to those who are friendless and lonely.
