    Since I left for college many moons ago, I have grown to appreciate the holiday season more deeply. It’s the time of year when all of my childhood friends and family are gathered in one place. You wind down from another year and remember what’s really important. The chaos of life matters a little less. Spending time doing nothing with people you love means even more.

We are all in this together, and it doesn’t take a traditional donation to support this work. Look for products you would purchase anyway and, especially in the month of October, consciously choose products that go the extra step. Here is our list.
