Are you looking for ways you can make the holidays brighter for others?  Here are a few suggestions from the Hanover County Department of Community Resources on ways you can help others during this holiday season.

Individuals, businesses and community groups seeking ideas or contact information for agencies recruiting community support for those in need can download the 2017 “Making Holidays Bright” holiday ‘wishlist’ at www.HanoverVolunteers.org.

The list includes ways in which you can:

·      Make a monetary donation

·      Collect or contribute items in need

·      Be a friend for the holidays

·      Create an item or a gift

The list also includes information on community Thanksgiving dinners and the Hanover Christmas Mother.
