5 Healdsburg Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season
As Giving Tuesday approaches, here are five nonprofits in the Healdsburg area to consider supporting.
HEALDSBURG, CA — If you’re like many of your Healdsburg neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.
Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.
Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the Healdsburg area.
